Thousands gathered at Mecca today in the remarkably calm aftermath of a disaster that killed more than 100 people yesterday.
The world's largest mosque seemed a picture of serenity today, a drastic contrast with the shocking scenes from just 24 hours ago, when dead bodies scattered the polished floor of the holy site in Saudi Arabia.
At least 107 people were killed yesterday when the crane fell at Mecca's Grand Mosque, which authorities confirmed today was due to high winds during a violent thunderstorm in Islam's holiest city.

It was confirmed today that this year's hajj, which last year attracted more than 2million visitors, will still go ahead despite the disaster, and is expected to begin on September 21.
