For an unknown reason, worms rained from the sky in Beijing, the capital of China. The incident caused great repercussions on social media and in the world press. The US, British, Turkish and Brazilian press announced the event to their readers as priority news.
According to the news of Milliyet; The incident in Beijing took place after a severe storm and a rain of worms started from the sky. People in the area recorded every place covered with worms. The cause of the incident has not yet been determined.
Warning From Authorities
The Chinese authorities took action after the incident and started an investigation on the issue. The authorities, who warned about the use of umbrellas when going out, announced that they could not yet determine the cause of the incident.
The worm rain may be caused by strong winds, according to an analysis of a nationwide scientific journal. Worms lifted into the air by the wind may have rained down on the ground when the wind speed decreases. However, this theory has not yet been conclusively confirmed and other factors are thought to play a role.
It is a fact that the images received great attention on social media. Some users experienced ‘doomsday omen’ while others argued that the things surrounding it were plants, not worms. However, the authorities stated that the incident should be investigated properly and stated that they are working to make a clear statement.
A Similar Event Has Happened Before
A similar incident took place in Edinburgh, England, in 2011. While teaching in the field, physical education teacher David Crichton observed a sudden rain of worms from the sky. David and other teachers at Galashiels Academy expressed surprise at the event. David, who was 26 at the time, used the following statements on the subject: “Suddenly we started to hear big and small voices. When we looked at the ground, there were almost 20 worms.”
These events are extremely interesting and surprising. Natural events such as the rain of worms from the sky surprise people while at the same time worry them. Although the cause of these events has not been determined exactly, scientists think that natural disasters may have an effect as well as atmospheric conditions. It is important that people be vigilant in the face of such incidents and take the warnings of the authorities seriously. In addition, such events can be a sign of the changing conditions of the natural environment and ecosystem, so it is an issue that should be followed in the long term.
