I don’t think God likes Vegas…Hell, I don’t.
Pretty cool…
#1 While God may not, it didn’t seem to bother Las Vegas.
You should sit out near TV (TV because they are taller than most other towers) towers in Florida and North Carolina – #1 and #2 For Lightning Strikes.
The key is dissipation of the energy. The Top is better “wired” for strikes as you will note the Top Strike was the brightest. There are Side-Mounted lightning rods as well which is why lightning struck those areas specifically and not just random points on the tower.
Still COOL to watch!
Imagine the sight and sound of that hit from the restaurant at the top of the tower.
What, no SUPER slow motion?!?!?
It’s pretty clear there was just one strike to the top of the tower and the rest are just anomaly due to cheap camera.
Why was the camera fixated shooting the top of the tower. Wonder if this is real or not? The camera was positioned for like 20 seconds before the strike.
Nice CGI.
Wait when the hell does it rain in Vegas?? Let along a thunder storm??? hhmmmm
on another note about this..
Glad we have the real thing here in umerikam not like them fake eiffel towers in gauyee pariee…..
😛
It may be fake. The strike is the exact same shape over repeat pulses up and down the tower’s height. While repeat pulses are usually identical in shape, they follow the exact same plasma tunnel in the air, not parallel, offset in space.
As #8 suggests, perhaps some other video phenomenon is at work here. The initial bright pulse DOES light up the roof of the building in the background, suggesting that most of the light comes from off camera.
kinda random, it like struck outta nowhere. kinda weird how the person just HAPPENED to b video taping the tower, but im not sure how theyd PLAN a lightning strike! lol! its really cool n kinda scary…but still…MAJOR COINCIDENCE OR NOT?!?!
