    Amazing how these buildings are engineered to take these hits like they're nothing, no harm done, even the aircraft beacons just keep flashing...wow

      Danick, not only that but the buildings have lightning rods on top of them.

      Because they are meant to withstand lightning that’s why they can take lightning strikes...

    Tall buildings like that all have lightening rods. 100% safe.

  • @russmorgan4495
    @russmorgan4495 9 років тому +31

    That is why tall buildings have lightning conductors to send the charge into the ground,directing the charge away safely...they are meant to attract the bolts rather than hitting some place harmful...check it out..
    if you are able to visit such buildings,if you look around them carefully ,you will find on one side or corner or so,huge copper cables going down into the ground...usually its on a corner or maybe even a few corners..sometimes they are covered to prevent it discharging and causing harm.

    • @achicagoan5480
      @achicagoan5480 7 років тому

      chris shoats I know, that's a myth. It's Super rare but it does happen. The reason Willis, or Sears tower as well as other buildings get hit by lightning more often is because they're designed to attract it and turn the energy of the lightning into energy that the building can use.

    • @thelightninghunter23
      @thelightninghunter23 6 років тому

      A Chicagoan No. Lightning strikes tall structures repeatedly because they launch upward lightning when negative leaders from an IC or +CG move over them.

    Wow look at that....and I believe it because I was video taping it from my window in the Western suburbs...I think that has to be the worst lightening I have ever seen it was literally nonstop and my camera was only picking up the brightest flashes but there was plenty of bright flashes. I have seen nonstop lightening but I still felt like this is the worst its been. I like the ending.
