Mecca Crane Collapse Victims Obituary
The tweets made no mention about what caused the collapse.
The civil defense authority announced the collapse and a series of rising casualty numbers on its official Twitter account, The Associated Press reported.
Pan-satellite Al-Jazeera Television broadcast footage from inside the mosque compound said to be from the aftermath of the accident, the AP said.
Another video, on a Twitter posting, captured the apparent moment of the crane's collapse during a heavy rainstorm, with a loud boom, screams and confusion, the AP said.
The Masjid al-Haram surrounds Islam's holiest site, the Kaaba -- a shrine that worshipers visit during the hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. Approximately 2 million people a year make the pilgrimage, CNN said.
The hajj is due to begin later this month.
Last year, Saudi Arabia lowered its limit of people allowed to perform hajj, citing safety concerns because of the construction work at the Grand Mosque.
In past years, the pilgrimages have resulted in multiple deaths, chiefly as a result of stampedes.
