maybe hashem does not want this event to happen
Since when do the people who run this event care about what Hashem wants?
Actually there are quite a few religious/traditional people among the crew and the people appearing and even a lot of people who are not religious do care to differing extents, but I guess it’s always hard to understand someone who is not like you, it’s a lot easier to just call them terms.
The incident reported was extremly minor but because of the previous disaster the media were on it like paparazzi on a famous person.
