A freak accident in South Africa on Friday left 44 children hospitalized after their visit to a bunny park went horribly wrong. As the group of 80 children, all between 2 and 6 years old, stood waiting for their bus, a swarm of bees appeared out of nowhere and began attacking them. Emergency responders soon arrived on the scene, taking 44 of the injured children to the hospital—four of whom were in critical condition.
