A video of people lying unconscious on a road has been shared with the claim that they were all stung by the Asian giant hornet, which is also called the ‘Murder Hornet’. The message says that it’s a large insect the size of a wasp which can kill a human being with just a few stings. Alt News ran a simple check on the video and it turns out that the people in the video were victims of the gas leak that occurred in Visakhapatnam last month.
