"Oftentimes" as in once that I've ever heard of... should this be clarified? No.

Maybe you haven't heard enough?

At least 3 times in recent history during this specific part of the celebration. 2004 - 251 dead during this ritual, 2001 - 35 dead, 1994 - 270 dead.

Deaths have been reported at other places during other related gatherings. 1998 - 180 trampled to death, 1990 - 1,426 trampled to death, 1987 - 402 trampled to death.

[edit] January 2006

Shouldn't a new article be created for the stampede deaths of 2006? How does one start a news article? 24.63.125.78 16:56, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

I would like to know a little something about this "two-level flyover-style" bridge, why people go there, and why they get trampled when they are there. Is there no other access point to the towers? Why are there hundreds of bulls walking around there? Why do hundreds of people still go there when people die nearly every year? Is there religious significance to this bridge? What is a "two-level flyover-style" bridge, anyway? If someone knowledgable could update the page with this information, I think it would be a great addition. Rob 17:13, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks to Mpatel for the wall information. :-) --Cam 16:23, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
