Lightning Evaporated Girl’s Necklace.

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on July 20, 2006 at 12:54 am


Marina Motygina of Ekaterinburg in Russian Urals region just got out of the water when she got hit by a lightning. Marina survived, but her gold cross pendant on a chain melted and evaporated from her neck:

The lightning struck Marina in the temple, went down through the body and left it near the navel. The gold cross and chain she had been wearing, a Christian symbol, melted and evaporated, leaving deep burns on her neck and chest. …

She is still in the hospital, because the deep burns on her neck need constant attendance. The marks will remain on Marina’s neck forever.

As if that’s not weird enough:

“Marina is fine, even her heart is working perfectly well, though usually when a person is struck by lightning, the heart stops immediately. It’s a really unique case. There are only a few people who survived a lightning strike, and most of them develop telepathic or psychic abilities,” says her doctor.

    Well, I’m glad to see that her doctor is a rational person of science.

    HA! I wonder where he came up with that conclusion from…

    I predict that he is a crap doctor, where do I claim my prize?

    Did the park ranger loose his psychic abilities when he was hit the second time or did they make him some sort of super-psychic?

    Da. That is true.

    Also: most people who are exposed to high levels of radiation (Radiationski) develop super powers. My Uncle Vanya says that this is so.
