Russian Soccer Player Wearing Metal Chain Around Neck Struck By Lightning & Vaporized

Video was shot with a potato, however the guy is clearly lying on the ground after the lightning strike. Unless "vaporized" means lying motionless on the ground, then its a 100% accurate video description.

Looked this up, the kid is in a medical induced coma and expected to recover fully.

Larry could work for CNN with the sensationalism in that headline

I don't speak Russian, but I'm guessing the lady in the video is saying that his chain and shoes were rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead.

Looks like 1.21 jigawatts. If only he had a flux capacitor instead of a chain.

Lazy bastard Leo Headline translates to: Moment of lightning strike ? Today, the condition is stable, cardiogram is normal, severe burns at the entrance and exit of lightning discharge. There is no threat to life, according to doctors.

I assumed from the title that it is the Russian player who was vaporized

Fake as frick.

Putin doing some summer testing, lol.

That is why we do safety stand down on construction sites. According to National Geographic in the US you have a 1 in 3000 chance of being struck in your lifetime and 1 in 700,000 chance in dying from it in any given year. I wouldn't live in fear but still it makes sense not to stand in an open field during a thunderstorm. This poor guy may have been hit by a bolt from the blue from a storm 10 miles away. From National Geographic "Flash Facts about Lightning".

That’s so Russian

He’s laying on the ground! Not vaporized!

My Grandmama gave me that Chain

If he dies, he dies.

If only he hadn't worn the chain that day. Those billion volts/100,000 amps wouldn't have killed him if it hadn't been for that chain. We should ban all necklaces.

Shocking

Lol, so the guy vaporized, Poof and hes gone.

More Russian interference....

Vaporized :lol:
