Late in the evening of June 13, two people were struck by lightning and fell to the ground in the square of Jinzhou North Station in Liaoning Province. The incident was captured on video, showing a large amount of electrical sparks at the moment of impact.
On the 13th, several netizens revealed that two individuals were hit by lightning in the square of Jinzhou North Station. Surveillance footage showed the pair walking through the square with umbrellas when a flash of white light struck one of the umbrellas, causing a significant amount of electrical sparks at the scene, leading to both individuals being struck and falling to the ground.
On the 14th, the emergency management bureau of Taihe District in Jinzhou, Liaoning Province reported that the incident occurred at 7:15 p.m. on the 13th at the Jinzhou North Station square. A 30-year-old man, Sun Moumou, was struck by lightning while waiting at the station, and his companion, Li Mou, was knocked down by Sun Moumou. Currently, both individuals are not in life-threatening condition.
Netizens commented, “It’s really strange. There are lightning protection devices on the nearby signal tower, yet the lightning didn’t divert away. It’s truly a calamity from the sky.” “This accident is too miraculous.”
“It doesn’t make sense. There are tall buildings nearby, how could it strike a person? Check the lightning protection and grounding of this building. With a good grounding situation of lightning rods, this shouldn’t happen.”
“No immediate danger doesn’t mean there won’t be any aftereffects. Current passing through the heart and internal organs can cause damage.” “Sparks were visible.” “As long as the people are safe, that’s what matters, but it’s really scary to watch.” “Umbrellas should not be used at the high-speed rail station.” “It’s likely due to high voltage at the platform, umbrellas shouldn’t be used. The people in the video were probably at the entrance to the station.”
