This Bizarre Incident Caused A Buzz In London

Commuters were forced to duck for cover as the insects caused chaos and Lara Buckle told the Evening Standard: "You couldn’t even see the sky they were that many.

“At first people were just walking through it, it looked like dust particles and then all of a sudden people started panicking, hitting themselves, trying to get them off.”
