So basically, because this tragedy happened in a specific community, we can just 'other' them and pat ourselves on our backs that this only happened because they did x,y,z and would never ch'v happen to any of us?

(As an aside, although I don't have any affiliation with this chassidus, or any chassidus for that matter, I believe they have a reputation for taking safety pretty seriously in general.)

Chas ve-chalila! Because this happened to our fellow Jews, and because we care, we want to raise awareness so that we don't have to face senseless tragedies again.

Nobody is "othering" anybody.

And I also heard that Karliner-Stolin Hassidim have a reputation for being very law-abiding and by-the-book.

I'm sure as more facts come to light, we will better understand how this happened, and how to make sure it does not happen ever again.

About covid, it is well known that no one is allowed into a Karlin shul above the age of 16 without an ishur machlim or ishur chisun, which means you need to have immunity to come to any event. Every person before coming has to present their ishur.
So now you can stop talking about covid,
About everything else....well, They all definitely care about laws and safety based on their record, so I am not going to judge them with the rest of the media.
Anyone showing these letters and proof that there were no ishurim are covering their backs, so I am going to hold my judgement...till...well forever!

So tragic. Even if someone was negligent, I would assume the victims had no clue. Same as Meron. I've gone to Meron, I never had a single clue about crowd crush. You assume that if it's organized and run by trustworthy people, it's legal and legit. The victims just went to daven, they did not deserve this.

What does this have to do with anything? The bleachers collapsed. Not the building.
The bleachers were installed by a professional private company and they should investigate what went wrong.
This could have happened to anyone.

The. Part that. Collapsed was an extension made of wood and tired. Together with rope. It was built by teens.

It's clear what went wrong. It was completely not safe.

it has everything to do with it.
I understand the shul was a new building. it wasnt even finished.
in order to get an approval to have the gathering they needed safety plan for a large congregation, a permit from the police, permit from the fire brigade, permit from magen david adom, plan for security and people responsible for the order, permit that electricity, emergency exits and emergency generators have been checked, approval of the construction of building as well as additional systems and devices. Seven paragraphs which was supposed to fulfilled.
in israel you need something called Tofes 4 for a new building. if you dont have it you cant move in or having a large public event. illegal.[b]
all of this could have been avoided. we are supposed to do hishladlut! IMHO having this large event without all the proper approvals is everything but acting responsible.

Rumours? I have seen multiple videos and pictures showing the bleachers. It's horryfing. It's like tied together with thin wire and rope. It was not made my engineers or anything close to it. It was an extension.

I'm not uploading clips but you can see them in many of the articles people linked in this thread.

I’ll still say it’s hard to know. I saw it too.
But it’s impossible to know if that was ‘designed’ to support it or leftover from transporting or part of the assembly steps.
Perhaps that’s leftover from pre-construction just setting it up and other beams and bolts were used later and that is what the photographer chose to zoom in on.
There is no way to know now.

Gerrer chassidus is I longer going to use bleachers. Even their professionally installed one. That is huge!

I wonder if that is really so smart. Where then are all the chassidim going to be standing instead? on the ground, pushing....?

Cmon guys. We need moshiach. Bashing people for breaking rules and using the building has nothing to do with anything. HaShem wanted this. We need ahavat chinam right now

We all want Mosiach. We all need ahavat chinam. And still there is a mitzvah ' ve nishmartem'. No way you can circumvent it.

Correct, but no need to be so smug in your assertions either.
