This Exists: Truck Crashes And Releases 14 Million Bees On Idaho Highway

video
» 9 comments

Aw, there’s nothing better than a news story that sounds like the plot of a terrible made-for-TV movie. On U.S. Highway 20 in Idaho this past weekend, a semi-truck crashed and let loose its interesting cargo: hundreds of bee hives. Soon, the street was covered in a “river of honey” while the sky was filled with 14 million angry bees. Not exactly the recipe for a pleasant Sunday drive.

There’s good news though. While the bees forced rescue workers to wear protective gear, they were able to kill most of them with firefighting foam. Everything’s all clear then, right? Not exactly. In a news report from local station KIFI, Fire Chief Kenny Strandberg pointed out the next concern: grizzly bears.

God, this would make an awesome made-for-TV movie. Someone get on that! All you need is to have the bee truck crash into a truck carrying some kind of bee-mutating radioactive material and you have absolute television gold!

Until that movie gets made (I’m looking at you, Syfy Channel!), enjoy the news report from KIFI below:

    Winnie-the-Pooh is currently on a honey induced rampage on U.S. Highway 20. There are casualties.

    Is there some way that this is Obama’s fault?

    There are people on Mediaite who I suspect blame the extinction of the dinosaurs, the Toba catastrophe, and the ‘Big Bang’ on Obama.

    Don’t forget the Lindbergh baby and the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

    How would you like a serious shot at becoming a millionaire?

    Did you know that lawyers make millions every year when corporations screw up? Did you know that they make even more when the government screws up? The government has the deepest pockets there are and when they screw up lawyers not only make millions, they retire.

    What I’m presenting to you is the greatest case against the US government in history. Now I can’t promise that you’ll make millions, but I can promise that if this story is shared with the right law firm the finder’s fee they would be willing to pay you could be your quickest ticket to easy street.

    It’s pretty simple. The attorneys in your phone book and the guys you see advertising on TV are always looking for cases they can easily win. With so much competition to be the first to share the following story, you can expect a lot of negative feedback on news sites from others competing to share this as well as people working for the government that don’t want this story exposed.

    The following story is 100% true and there are mountains of evidence to support it. Whether you understand it entirely, or have the ability to follow up on it, it is completely irrelevant. All you have to do is share this
