Report that the place was inspected and approved by an engineer.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

No news is good news...
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Considering that it is shabbos it is likely the news will be sparse

Looking at the pic and videos, it seems that as they came down the ramp, they were supposed to make a right turn and go down the steps.

1- what happened that the flow couldn't go down the steps?

2- I see police standing and blocking as you come down the ramp, before you make the right turn. They weren't letting you go straight down the ramp. Where would it take you if you went straight and didn't turn right, and why were the police blocking there from going straight?

Unbelievable lack of sensitivity and arrogance. Seems like the Covid-19 opium caused some serious brain damage to this individual.

Quote
Public health chief Sharon Alroy-Preis, who had warned earlier this week that a massive gathering at the site could drive an outbreak of COVID-19, told Army Radio that the tragedy could have been averted if police had enforced the restrictions on the number of people allowed to attend.

“It was not possible to reach an agreement on who enforces the regulations at Mount Meron,” she said. “I remind you that the number of people allowed to gather outside is restricted to 100 — it is the responsibility of the police to enforce the laws of the State of Israel.”

That’s not what I observed, the flow was going down the steps as that was the only path, you just can’t see the steps because they’re covered. The crushing happened mainly on/near the stairs. If you went straight there was a metal wall (see my pic above) until the police ripped it out. The wall in front of a dirt hill that ended up providing a way out.
