Lightning strikes and kills football player

Post by Avder »

See what you guys think of this one...

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/09/16/ligtni ... index.html

Maybe God was just ticked at the team for some reason?

What kind of award do we have for this?

And how many of you bastards are thinking "Owned"? :P

He sure had a pretty mouth.

I live in Atlanta and we get pretty good lightning storms from time to time. Whenever my Dad is here during a storm he always goes outside to watch it. I keep telling him that 1)it is a good way to get himself killed, and 2)he can watch it from inside because that is what windows are for.

I am sending him this article.

there was a story a while ago about how lightning hit a wet soccer field, and only the people who weren't in mid-air (running) got zapped. What chance there!

I wonder what the teams name is, "thunderbolts" would be amusing to me.

No one ever said his death was funny.
We're poking fun at how he looks like D.

That's a real shame. Some people are born lucky, and some people are lightning-bait. :(

Oh yes, 3/16's of an inch of rubber is enough to stop 1 million volts of electricity. Thats why all of the powerlines are one foot off of the ground.

Football players wear cleats.
And it struck him, not the ground he was on.
