Amazing moment the world's biggest Christ was struck by lightning

This was the dramatic scene as the world's largest statue of Jesus was hit by lightning.

The bolt parted the thunderclouds over Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to strike Christ the Redeemer.

The statue is 130ft tall, is made of 700 tons of reinforced concrete and stands atop the 2,296ft Corcovado mountain overlooking the city.

Actually, most lightning strikes go from ground to cloud.
Maybe there was some sort of airborne sinner up there.

I'd like to be the photog who captured that shot (even though the ol' retinas are probably still sizzling).

I wonder if that shot was taken from the back. If it were, then the strike would be approximately in the area of the heart. Hmmm...

Even though concrete is not an electrical conductor, it is the highest thing around there...

Concrete full of steel structure.
