9/11 collapse in Mecca: act of God or negligence

Saudi Arabia suspends work of Mecca crane collapse firm


Mobile phone images appear to show a crane adjacent to the Grand Mosque being struck by lightning [EPA]Saudi Arabia has suspended the Saudi Bin Laden Group from taking on new projects, just days after a deadly crane collapse in Mecca.A statement by the Saudi government on Tuesday said the company's operations had been stopped until a review of all their work had been completed.
The Saudi Bin Laden group is one of the region's largest construction firms with contracts across the country. 
Initial investigations by Saudi authorities suggested a "balance issue" in the crane and bad weather contributed to the tragedy that left at least 107 people dead and hundreds more injured at Islam's holiest site immediately prior to the start of the Hajj.
