Struck by Lightning
Description
A bolt of lightning packs up to 100 million volts and is five times hotter than the surface of the sun. What happens if lightning hits you? What are the chances of survival? Why does lightning kill some victims and leave others almost completely unscathed? Reconstructing some of the most dramatic lightning strikes in the United States and United Kingdom, this documentary explains the dangers and tells what steps you can take to avoid being the victim of a lightning strike. It also tells the story of the park ranger who was struck seven times before finally being killed by this fearsome natural force.
