Great photo of lighting strike at Boeing plant in Charleston

 Boeing assembly plant Charleston South Carolina

A great picture of a lighting strike at the Boeing assembly plant under construction in Charleston on July 26, 2010. The left lightning bolt is actually curling around through the crane and the right one went down an elevator shaft. Awesome! I wish I could credit the photographer but it was forwarded by email so many times until it got to me that I just don't know who took the photo.

Howard,

I actually took the picture.

Just to clarify the lightnings on the picture are occuring in the forest behind the building so the building was safe.

I am ean engineer on site and I work for the architectrual firm who designed the building.

That day I shot 500 pictures and only one of them caught the lightning.

Nice blog by the way.

Take care

Sebastien, thanks so much for stopping by and clarifying what happened and of course, I'm glad proper credit can now be given to you. And thank you for the kind words regarding my blog.
