A huge nest of hornets responsible for a wave of terror and one death was assaulted by army units in a bid to annihilate it.
The gigantic hornet nest, 1.6m wide and situated out of reach up a tree, had recently been responsible for numerous hornet attacks, including one fatality, and was forcing many villagers to take lengthy detours if they wished to avoid being stung.
With the local fire brigade unable to fell the tree due to the nearby buildings, an urgent call for assistance was made, and it was answered by a nearby PLA reconnaissance battalion, who dispatched a squad armed with flamethrowers to the scene, complete with chemical warfare suits and anti-bee nets.
Two bursts from their flamethrowers reduced the nest to flaming mass of scorched insects.

Kill everything with fire? Now THAT'S China!
Smooth Criminal~
Hokage
lol notice the irony of fireman using flamethrowers to 'kill it with fire'.
Fahrenheit 451 anyone?
In before Megaman's Fire Man.
Da Billi Jin ....Oh My Love .. AU!!!!!
that's how pest control should ALWAYS be done
kinda reminds you of that one monk who burned down the whole temple trying to get rid of a nest with FIRE
Awesome. Those filthy hornet xenos deserved to be killed with fire.
now this is what I call extermination!
1.6 meters is a nightmare. Imagine thousands of hornets around you!
I'd rather face the flamethrower than get killed by 1000+ stings.
it killed one of them...those hornets deserve a fiery death.
FUCK YEAH CHINA
all these just to avenge a death? i wish something like that would happen to my country..
We can't stop the fire
It will always be burning
Until the world stops turning
We can't stop the fire
Don't matter who ever lighted it
Cause we all feed in to it
Something came to my mind as I watched the picture, then it clicked, I listen to the Bloodhound Gang's The roof is on fire.
Burn motherf*cker burn!
I'm seconding this! Epic! Those stinging bastards got what was coming to them!
We didn't start the Flamewar!
Peepz just started hatin'
coz' I left my comment.
I totally support this. Hornets must die. If fire kills them quick, then by all means, use fire.
Well the use of flamethrowers to kill lethal incests is used through out the world :P
So, they go around burning first cousins who get it on?
nice catch ;)
i++
lethal incests...
Icy-nee-san got Owned
Lethal incest, wow that's surprisingly hot.
Remember children: make sure that your siblings do not have any flame throwers handy before engaging in incest. This can be very hazardous to your health.
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
Freudian slip much, Icy?
now, why use a flamethrower? a can of chocolate axe without a flame works quite well against my brother and cousin.
Well to be honest Chinese hornets are a big ass motherfuckers.I wouldn't want to go anywhere near them.
But IMO the should just nuke the hive from orbit.It's the only way to be sure.
To be honest, I've seen a hornet nest once at a relatives place. Up on a tree, the nest caused the branches to snap and sway due to the weight.
Only way to remove it was after dialing 3 buttons on the phone and a huge-tree bonfire was all I could remember back then, thanks to the fire brigade.
But its efficient, and better than hitting it with a slingshot... >.>
But they like to keep the flamethrower for close encounters. ;)
stilako?
heh awesome way to get rid of hornets
Also effective and approved.
wait what buildings? lol
I think somebody've been playing too much scribblenauts..
"Remove the Bee's nest"
type: flamethrower
Americans would've nuked for 1 fatality
If it were in someone elses country, then yes.
If it isn't, don't count on it. PETA would be protesting up and down the country claiming hornets have more rights than chinese people.
Yeah, because the US is the one always threatening nuclear war.
BTW, North Korea says hello.
America doesnt need a fatality to nuke
WTF does this sentence even mean?!
What they were trying to say is that they would nuke without so much as a death, rather an injury or skinned knee would suffice. It's a bit exaggerated but I try to stay neutral when people on Sankaku start arguing about country politics :P
Oh, ok. That is more legible. Still a dumb fuck comment, but at least I can understand it now.
Dumb? I dont think so. After all, when USA is involved any excuse is good for WAR.
war does not equal use of nuclear weapons.
Guys you all have it all wrong. It takes 30 kills in a row to use a nuke.
It's 25 kills dipshit.
lol. Some truth to that, read about the Vietnam war and how basically none of popular culture is right about the war. The US killed 2-3 million Vietnamese for colonial domination. As an American, thats pretty interesting.
shut up and go eat your defenseless dogs, korean assbags.
I wipe my ass on your Disney-loving fatass ruler.
America would send Chuck Norris instead
It could have been more efficient if Brother Li Yuchun was sent there
lol, they should send Brother Stallone.Zeng instead, the nature will decide who's the best.
mini nukes for mini terrorist. thats so US
Hey! Those hornets have WMD's (Weapons of Miniscule Destruction)! We need to take 'em out. Though nukes maybe too much, let's raid 'em instead. They have valuable resources for our economy of waffles and pancakes.
That picture is epic, the answer to the problem was awesome. China wins for the over kill.
totally agree with u. very very overkill, whats next tnt for termite nest?
ebola virus f/ bug?
Nahpalm!!!
Oh man, a rocket launcher would've been fuckin' awesome....
I would have preferred a video.
Are we sympathising with insects now?
I know sankaku loves to bash china but can we draw a line here?
I don't think they are bashing china... this is actually rather cool. What the hell else could be done about it? I mean the nest was fucking HUGE.
I could think of a solution involving a rocket launcher, but that would be too fun to be allowed in China.
a flamethrower is pretty damn fun...
Isn't there an ancient proverb: "Don't use cannon to kill mosquito."?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that originated in China.
Actually I believe the proverb was along the lines of "no need to use a butcher knife for killing a chicken".
Maybe you meant "Shooting sparrows with guns"?
"Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?"
thats a flamethrower. no shells, no slugs. just good old oil.
the English version would be "swatting a fly with a hammer".
Finally China does something cool.
OVERKILL~~!!
You say overkill,
I say EFFICIENT~~~
you say EFFICIENT,
i say CHINA~~~
SUPATA!!
Bring out the dragon tank!!
i got plenty of bullets to spare!
Or just get black lotus to hack into the hornet nest. After all, compared to those GLA excuses for buildings a hornet nest is very high tech.
Let loose the juice! Give generously!
I say MULTIKILL.
Based on the nest size it's over 900.
I assume you meant 9000 but whatever >.>
Still the coolest way to get rid of hornets I have ever seen and will always remember for future reference lol :)
they should bring the flamethrower tank...
that's like using a frag grenade to kill a housefly....
if they called an airstrike i've would agree with you
still, its an epic win especially for the one using the flamethrower, he may think "Finally i can burn something".
Need a light?
They should have brought in tanks and put them in siege mode.
nuclear launch detected
is there something burning? fsht! Ha, that's what i thought!
i wish they'd finish and release Starcraft 2
I wonder how do they kill cockroaches...
Machine guns?
No, machine guns are used to exterminate ants..
Didn't you know? Roaches can survive even a thermonuclear explosion and the resulting fallout. the Chinese would be will advised to think carefully before declaring a War on Roaches.
Still flamethrower against hornet nest? Priceless...
Fallout and radiation yes. You'd need fireproof roaches to survive a nuclear fireball.
Reminds me of Ichigeki Sacchu!! Hoi Hoi-san
Nope, to hunt a mosquito you definitely require a trusty bazooka.
(Ask me about self-defense against both single _AND_ multiple grapes.)
I see what you did there, Herr Flipperwald gersput!
Actually, if they have a massive cockroach infestation that happens to be immune to all forms of pesticides, the answer will still be flamethrowers.
Ants? Well, fill up ant-holes with oil and then light it up!
In case of zerg rush, kill it with fire.
For once, I think China is awesome.
Burn baby, burn~
Disco Inferno!
China u so crazy
fire, bee's natural enemy...
Flamethrower, bee's natural enemy...
Bug type Pokemons; weak against Fire type attacks..
Holy shit lol U're right!
It's very effective!
Its Super Effective! LOL!!
Critical hit
Wild Beedrill fainted!
Phoenix down. Wait...
Ah ha! Just when I thought China came up with something awesome, in reality they just ripped off of Pokemon....
Actually, America also uses flamethrowers against killer bees. Flamethrowers are probably used everywhere that has hornet/bee/army ant problems. It's the number 1 answer to a zerg rush. No need to aim, just SWEEP across the area.
wonder if japan would have sent in a mech/a ninja/or a moe chara to do the job...
If they had sent a moe she would just stare at it with her big eyes while the wind blows her skirt up barley revealing her pantsu and then all of the hornet's die of massive blood loss from nosebleeds.
Do hornets have noses?
No, but they do have spiracles. Hmm....bleeding fluids along their thorax and abdomens.
Well, they have Hoihoi-san to exterminate roaches..
omg headshot
How barbaric. They should have communicated with the hornet queen, establish diplomatic relations and tried to understand each other.
or offer some of their women
A cat is fine too
china can use dinamite too
dynamite is fine to
hell yeah! lets burn!!!!!
That's the way to deal with hornets! Where I live, they're a protected species and you can be fined if you dare to harm one even if it's about to sting you >_>
lol so what are you supposed to do?
Ask the government to relocate them?
no, the government shoots you with a flamethrower if you did something to the hornets.
In soviet russia :P
That's exactly what they tell you to do. That and "But they're completely harmless! They NEVER sting unless provoked! If you get attacked it's your fault!" etc. etc.
And we don't even have something like PETA here...
Please, hornets are provoked the moment you enter their personal space. Why don't THEY go near a hornet's nest?
pure ownage
Pesticide is for pussies, way 2 go China.
They should have dropped a bomb instead.
Not bombs. Napalm!
they should use a c4 to blow up the tree instead
Dave would've done that with a Ford airbag.
I seen that video it was funny he seems to get a lot of hornets.
I found the most effective hornet dispatching tool
ironically is not fire but water from a 3500psisg pressure washer.
Purge the heretics with fire!!!!!!!!!
burn them, burn them with fire whahahahha
hornets? thought they eat them...
they chose roasted this time.
sweet
Wonder if we can get some Chinese flamethrower infantry over here in Bristol to deal with a pigeon problem. :D
for this problem they will used flak gun to take down that pigeon...
Fine by me, where do I hire them? :D
Ah yes, fire, solution to everything
Worked for the cave men.
Cheating girlfriends, homework, cooking, driving away pesky kids.....what can't it solve?
Bee Nest uses Sting...
Direct Hit!
Townsmen is defeated.
Change PokeChinese?
>Yes
No
Go Pvt. Chang!
Pvt. Chang is confused...
He hurts himself in his confusion.
Bee Nest uses Shield.
But it Fails.
Pvt. Chang uses Flamethrower...
It's super effective!
Bee Nest is deafeated!
Pvt. Chang's got 1 EXP
Wow! Pvt. Chang's evolving.
. . .
Congratulations! Chang evolved into Cpl. Chang!
I can see why they did it. That nest was huge and those hornets are an absolute nightmare. We have the same ones here. A couple of stings can kill you. There is also an enzyme in their venom that melts flesh.
Hahas it alkline not enzymes, enzymes are to break down nutrients such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates into simpler forms then taken in by the body.
Yea and your body is filled with those nutrients to be broken down perhaps?
If I had a 1.6m hornet nest in my back yard, I wouldn't say no to military-grade flamethrowers.
hell yeah! +1 to china!
What is with all these "Chinese-Style" news postings? Do all the wapanese and weaboos here hate China? : )
Dude, Sancon makes "fun" of almost every country; US, Russia, England, Philippines, including Japan..
Maybe I haven't looked enough, most of the "hate" seems to be on China. I know you guys love Japan but sheesh!
you must be new here!
If only Japan had a similar solution for 2ch
Bah. If it happened in Russia, a single Molotov bottle from drunk neighbor Vasya would do the job
Russians would have flattened that nest with a tank...
Russian tanks climb trees
1.6m?! Holy shit that is a big nest.
Also, lol flamethrower.
Usually I groan (or sometimes, gag) about China-style stuff like this, but... I dunno, this is kinda awesome... I wish people here attacked wasps nests with flamethrowers, that'd be pretty freaking cool...
They did the right thing. Look at the size of that thing!
Btw, that flamethrower is awesome! Look how far it goes! I want one! :D
Do it with FIRE
does that pic remind anyone of ghostbusters?
If there's something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call?
For a moment there I thought that was a missile there in the pic...
What, 1.6m? Did they actually choose to go up there and measure it?
No, they used the shadow cast by the tree and the position of the sun to measure the tree's height, this then allowed them to deduce the size of the nest, duh.
kill it with fire!!!!!
Best method ever.
whether it's bigass hornets or alien xenomorphs, a flame unit is usually the best answer.
finally chinese military suppresses something people want suppressed.
That sounds like something that would be a skit on the old 'Home Improvement' TV series show. I am amazed China didn't call for an all out Nuclear Bomb attack to make sure all the hornets were disposed of.
Because hornets might survive a nuclear fallout.
But fire kills them no problem.
Looking at a soldier using a flamethrower always makes me feel weird...
Does all western country armies have flamethrowers in their arsenal too ?
I mean, that's a really vicious weapon, and I don't quite see how it can be Geneva Conventions-compatible in a war context. OK, you can burn a forest down with it, but there's safer methods to do it.
ever played call of duty V?
It's super effective!!!
Critical hit!!!
Hot.
At least these guys have a reason to scorch it, unlike a police officer tasing a defenseless 10 yr old girl just for refusing a bath.
A hornet made a nest on my porch deck, and I don't have a problem with it. They mind their business, and I go about mine. Why kill something that only does what is in its nature, without knowledge of good and evil.
Because it's fun - and you get to use fire.
SCREW YOU, NATURE!
Nearby buildings? WTF, it's in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah, I call BS on this story... probably just a photo from a training activity.
But you can see the nest.
hell yeah, that's how it's done, son.
Now thats getting things done lolz.
Rocks and Twigs = Fuck...
Pesticide = Meh...
Flamethrower = Fuck Yeah!
Rocket Launcher = Profit?
Gundam = *Meteor song plays*
Bahamut = OVERKILL!
kill a few hornets
start a forest fire
hmmm
Just so you know, flamethrowers are also a viable method to CONTROL forest fires.
Start small fires and burn all foliages around the path of the forest fire and you ensure no fuel to feed the advancing burning tide.
Thats downright badass imo. I fukken hate bees >:(
better learn the difference between hornets and bees.
yeah, they're even more vicious. those fuckers can multihit with a fucking high base damage!
I dont know if its been said but in America it is LEGAL in every state to own a flame thrower for pest control.
That's so cool.
There's nothing more dangerous than a wounded mosquito. Or a nest of wounded chinese hornets.
EAST IS RED
EAST ON FIRE!
Okay, that IS pretty cool..!
"Kill it with fire!"
stupid but effective
Heh, now you just have to admit China can't be all that bad when they do things this awesome!
haha... they called in the fire brigade first, then the flamethrower regiment.
if water doesn't water, always use FIRE!!!
Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-YOGAAAA FIIIIIREEEEE!
YOGA FLAME!
This is CHINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA \o/
I thought the Chinese government only condoned that level of violence on buddhist monks.
If there was a 2m nest on a tree in a city, there'll be the code red signal. Soldiers and tanks, along with all their advanced helicopters and jet planes gather in the city and evacuate everyone. Armed with the all-newest weaponry, they stand in a line as they preapared for the takedown of a hornets' nest.
Once the signal is given, soldiers fire their all-heavy machine guns and tanks fired. helicopters go rocket launchers and jet planes shoot missiles and take down the tree.
After 3 long hours, the nest was finally exterminated. Soldiers high-five with each other to commend on a job well-done. Unfortunately this 3-hour emergency situation caused half of the whole city to be destroyed..
... that's what I would like to see happen in China...
I once used a CO2 laser to kill a hornets nest.
For once China does it right. Ironically, it's extermination.
They have to do something with that army.
At least its useful, killing bugs, helping villagers. Until it starts.
this is a perfect example of military weapon put to good use
Charizard used Flamethrower.
Beedrill takes 1337 damage.
Beedrill faints
Charizard gained 10 EXP.
fuck yea!
Well it worked haha, as lnog as it didnt burn anything else its fine.
Fuck Yea!!!
I have to say this:
KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!
The Chinese will do whatever it takes to take down any threat to there country even Incects. They would send an Army after Mad Dog who has attack the local population.
OverKill +1
hell yeah, that's how it's done!
Flamethrower pest control? I could make a most lucrative business out of this.
China: Bad architecture, censorship, punching Tibetans, public nudity, and flamethrowers. I suppose it could be worse.
Don't really see the problem here. It was 1.6 meters wide! (That's over 5 feet for you yanks)
No real subtle way of dealing with that.
