An engineer of the construction site near Mecca's Grand Mosque said that the collapsing of the crane was "an act of God", according to reports.
A massive crane smashed into Mecca's Grand Mosque on Friday and killed at least 107 people, including two Indian women, ahead of the start of the annual Hajj pilgrimage. The incident left hundreds severely wounded too.
The head of Saudi Arabia's civil defence directorate said on Saturday that high winds during a rainstorm were to blame for the toppling of the red and white crane. The massive red and white crane, which crashed into the court of the mosque during a rainstorm and high winds on Friday, also injured around 200 people.
The Saudi Binladin Group engineer said that the massive construction project near the mosque had been there for almost three or four years without any problem being reported, news agency AFP reported.
Officials are investigating the incident as thousands of people have begun gathering for the holy annual Hajj pilgrimage.
