As per the reports, the reason behind the unimaginable condition is yet to be known. However, the scientific journal Mother Nature Network suggests that “the slimy creatures were dropped after being swept up by heavy winds.”
“According to the periodical also noted that this type of occurrence happens after a storm when insects are caught up in a whirlpool,” the reports added.
Meanwhile, a Chinese journalist Shen Shiwei, hailing from Beijing, claimed that the video was fake and that the city has witnessed no rainfall in recent times. “I’m in Beijing and this video is fake. Beijing hasn’t got rainfall these days,” Shen Shiwei tweeted.
