  • bro, you're 71 years old and your wife is 65. what's the point of risking your life walking in 120 degree heat?
  • @lcvb1624
    Sad, but c'mon...🙄 Don't blame ANYBODY but yourselves for being foolish.
  • @ddrod
    125 degrees, bruh and your going to go on a walking pilgrimage to congregate with hundreds of thousands of other Muslims outside? that is just suicidal.
  • @marine0816
    $20,000 religious vacation to die? No cheaper packages?
  • Youre not supposed to do these pilgrimages according to their own writings if it's dangerous to your life youre not supposed to do it
  • Justâ€Ļ. Why??? Why would you do that in that kind of heat?? SMH
  • @flrbase

    Man was not made for religion. Religion was made for man. Keep safe out there.

    NO religion has any "right"to demand a pilgrimage from ANYONE..Selfish to the extreme!!
  • @SAR-MH53
    🤔 Maybe they should have prayed for common sense.
  • @dibaterman
    Yeah... this sounds like a lawsuit, you don't drop 20k and have no itinerary set up. It also sounds like they paid the ultimate price for putting their lives in the hand of this tour company.

    125 degrees in blazing sun on asphalt or concrete crowded with hundreds of thousands of people. All those years of hoping and saving and planning. Too sad for words.
