but there must be something wrong - the thunder follows AFTER the lightning! When we watch the Twin Towers collapsing, the sound of the "collapse" is instantaneous - so clearly the thunder soundtrack is a little too late. :P
Pause anywhere before 0:08 and then drag the circle on the loading bar to 0:08 till you see it all lit up. Crazy to think that's how bright it is but it's so fuckin fast lol
how long did you stand their until that hit... also to the "fake" things it is a lighting rod it is designed to absorb lighting hits by attracting them during a storm to protect the buildings and surrounding objects
@nightrush13 I cant believe that someone liked your comment , all the jb hatred is just ridiculous, dont get me wrong i hate his music so much but this is fucking retarded.
@nightrush13 ughhh God and Jesus love everyone including the DEVIL and the DEVIL took over God well tried and if you went to church you would know they don't hate or dislike they love EVERYONE
@NairbLands I knew because I live there and had seen it hit many times before, just wasn't able to catch it. This time the storm happened, I said that's it, I'm gonna wait here, with my camera, as long as it takes. And it happened ;)
