Girl Escapes Lightning Strike
A Russian teenager survived a lightning strike which was so powerful it vaporised a gold cross on her neck.
The bolt hit Marina Motygina, 16, from Ekaterinburg in western Russia on the top of her head and seared through her body into the ground.
The necklace she had been wearing was 'atomised', leaving burns in the shape of a cross on her neck, Komsomolskaya Pravda reported.
Only a couple of links of the chain could be found.
A doctor at the local hospital who treated her said: "It is a miracle she has survived. She is fine now but will be staying in hospital for another two weeks.
"But she will have deep scars on her neck where the cross was for the rest of her life."http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1922998.html?menu=news.quirkies
