Saudis blame 'act of God' for crane collapse
The collapse of a construction crane that killed 107 people at Mecca's Grand Mosque was "an act of God" and not due to a technical fault, an engineer for the developer said.
The massive red and white crane, which crashed into the court of the mosque during a rainstorm and high winds yesterday, also injured around 200 people.
The engineer for Saudi Binladin Group, which is carrying out a massive expansion of the mosque, told AFP the crane, like many others on the project, had been there for three or four years without any problem.
