Space Needle proves lightning does strike twice

[drew00998]

The myth is that lightning never strikes the same place on FLAT GROUND with NOTHING ON IT XD

AKA NATURALLY XD

[streaky1992]

is the space needle safe to be in during a major T-storm?

[cctvcams]

@streaky1992 Absolutely, it has 25 lightning rods to prevent damage

Obviously it'll strike twice there cause its an conducter so its attracting the lightening when it comes down.

Some buildings are intentionally disgned to conduct electricity/lightening, it just travels around the building as wasted energy and doesnt harm anyone.

does the power get collected? does anybody inside it get affected? did they taste a metallic taste and hairs stud up? will it break the space needle? could lighting knock it over? what if the space needle falls over? is there an escape way on it? how much power is in lighting? can it survive for a long time? will it ever fall down? what if lightning hits it on the side? can the lightning hit the people in side it? can the people get shocked from inside it? what if that break seattle power lines?

@206robert206 its an conducter so its attracting the lightening when it comes down.

Some buildings are intentionally disgned to conduct electricity/lightening and they are made to withstand the elements outside, the electricity/lightening just travels around the building as wasted energy and doesnt harm anyone in side it and im sure in that weather no one would be outside on the roof. It wouldnt hit it elsewhere on the structure cause it has a conducting point at the top of the building.
