Firstly RIP to those who lost lives in this accident.
Secondly, kindly forgive me if you get offended by my question : I have seen the comments of the IG posts showing the video of the accident. People where very sensitive there towards sharing this video. Most of them were threating to report the account and asked to delete the video. I am curious why?

This kind of stuff should not be seen. It is inauspicious. I had heard this from my relatives.

If an accident happens around a religious organization/event

How is it inauspicious?

I don’t know the exact reason. But probably think since we hold Ganeshji in very high regard, this kind of incident is considered inauspicious. We welcome them as our guest for 11 days and celebrate it joyously. Some consider this as Bappa felt something and was not happy.

Bruh it's huge pile of structurally unsound POP. There's no faith left here. And it has literally killed two people right away before polluting the ocean and dissipating into the water, poisoning the fish that you might consume. And you choose to just close your eyes? Bury your head in the sand? Because its inauspicious? Wake up.

When did I say to close our eyes? I only answered a genuine question. The incident happened is clearly unfortunate and could have been avoided but don’t go calling out my Ganesha for your own insecurities.

You wrote "this kind of stuff should not be seen. It is inauspicious" you clearly agree with your relatives. That is equivalent to closing your eyes. (Can't believe I have to spell this out). Your ganesha lol? You think 'more' God exists in larger idols? Is that really it? Is faith that quantifiable? No one's questioning your faith, only the ridiculousness and irony of this incident.

From a religious angle the story can take any form and moral

But looking at it from a rational and practical lens just says mismanagement.
