5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

As thousands arrive in Mecca ahead of this year's Hajj a crane smashes through the roof of the grand mosque killing dozens and injuring more than a hundred more. Eyewitnesses say extreme weather may have caused the accident. Sajid from Blackburn was there with his mother. He says the scenes he witnessed were "like a movie" and the storm was the worst he has seen in 15 years of visiting Saudi Arabia. This clip is originally from Adrian Goldberg on Friday 11 September 2015
