| The worst stampede happened in 1990, when 1,426 pilgrims were trampled to death.More recently, 251 pilgrims died two years ago in a stampede during the stone-throwing ritual. A stampede in 2003 killed 36 pilgrims, most of them en route to the devil-stoning ritual, conducted outside Mecca. In 2001, a stampede at the same ritual killed 35. Makes running with the bulls in Pamplona seem safe
