The Mecca crane crash and 9/11: An insightful article by Folawiyo Olajoku

September 11 is always a day in which the world remembers the horrific attack on the World Trade Center and how people lost their loved ones in the mind boggling and senseless attack.

Fourteen years after on the anniversary of 9/11 an incident occurs. Analysts, political commentators or enthusiasts, conspiracy theory thinkers and deep thinkers would question what happened on September 11, 2015, exactly 14 years after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, which Osama bin Laden was accused of masterminding.

A crane fell on Muslims, who were performing Tawaf, a religious act of worship in Islam. Over 100 people died in that incident and the crane is said to be owned by the Bin Ladens’ construction company which is said to be one of the biggest construction companies in the world.

Is it just a coincidence that a crane owned by the Bin Laden family fell and killed people in one of the holiest of places in the world on the anniversary of the 9/11 attack?

Analysts, political commentators or enthusiasts, conspiracy theory thinkers and deep thinkers will analyse and speculate about this incident for years.

May God grant the families, who lost loved ones, the strength to bear the loss. My hope is that this world will someday experience peace. Tragedies and various violent acts only bring tears.
