I know about those sorts. Many years ago my father took us for Umrah and when we tried to use the bathroom facilities at Jeddah airport to make Wudhu, the floors were flooded, we had to roll up our clothes to our knees to avoid getting them dirty and wet.
Also the one day while reading salaat in the Haram in Makkah, the people were pushing and shoving for space to pray, I went down into Sujud and couldn't get up as someone was sitting on my head LOL... luckily one of the guards noticed and moved the woman along.
As for my comment about the guards, an honest mistake, I was just making an observation based on how most dignateries move around with masses of security.
