On Wednesday 24 April 2024, five military horses charged across central London after being spooked by building work during a routine training exercise. Videos that were circulated across social media saw at least two of the horses badly injured and covered in blood. And now, in the aftermath of the chaos, conspiracy theorists have predicted that the horsesâ incident is a sign of âdark omensâ to come.
Itâs definitely not every day that you see blood-covered one-tonne horses speeding across central London. Itâs even more rare to see a horse barrage into a tour bus and continue to race off with extensive injuries.
@screenshothq Five people have been injured after two horses bolted and ran loose through central London. One of the horses can be seen covered in what appears to be blood. At least one soldier was hurt after a spooked horse smashed into cars on Buckingham Palace Road. Pictures also show an injured man lying on the floor on Fleet Street. They have now been caught by police. In a statement, police said: âAt around 8.40am, we were called about horses that had become loose and were travelling through the City. Our officers have contained two horses on the highway near Limehouse. Weâre waiting for an army horse box to collect the horses and transport them to veterinary care.â Pictures and videos of the horses were shared on social media, one of which showed a black 4x4 with blue lights following the animals. #horse #london #fyp #londontiktok #horselife #horseriding #news

@screenshothq Replying to @lillie_0509_ Four people have been injured after runaway military horses - spooked by noise from building work - bolted through London. Soldiers and horses were hurt and vehicles damaged after chaos broke out during rush hour. Two horses were seen running in the road near Aldwych, one of which appeared to be covered in blood #horse #london #fyp #londontiktok #horselife #horseriding

However, you would assume that not everyoneâs first thought would be âAh, the end is comingâ. That being said, the five horses escaping was not the only bizarre thing to happen in London on that particular day. That very morning, Big BenâLondonâs most iconic cultural landmarkâdecided to throw the towel in and stop working, pausing for an hour at 9 am.
So, naturally, with these two events coinciding, people concluded that the world was ending:
Netizens declared the events an âomenâ and some even insinuated that the white horse covered in blood might be a sign that King Charles, who was recently diagnosed with cancer, is in serious trouble. One user wrote: âThis powerful imagery yesterday is Game of Thrones symbolic. In the old days, a riderless white horse (drenched here in its own blood) was news of a death coming. If true, the fact this is a Household Cavalry horse running through London doesnât bode well for King Charles.â
Whether you believe in conspiracy theories or not, itâs undeniable that Wednesday 24 April 2024 will go down in history as one hell of a chaotic day.
