Lightning Kills prof

[stdave1]

From an article in a newspaper I read. A university professor who studies the effects of electricity was killed this week when he was struck by lightning. I guess he found out the effects of electricity all right.

Well...being dead he'll be well grounded on the subject the next time lightning strikes... :dead:

Very well grounded.

Wonder if that newspaper filed this under 'current' events. 😀

I know I got a jolt reading it.

C'mon! Watts wrong with a few electricity puns? :happy:

This is pretty ironic.

Where did this happen by the way and under what circumstances? Anyone have any actual info?

Montreal Prof Struck and Killed by Lightning near Sudbury

A Concordia University professor is dead after being struck by lightning while camping in Killarney Provincial Park near Sudbury.

48-year-old Victor Rossokhaty, his son and another man, huddled in a tent during a severe thunderstorm Tuesday night in a remote part of the park.

A lightning bolt hit in the area of the tent and was so powerful it pushed the man to the floor of the tent. Rossokhaty's son immediately performed CPR but it took several hours before emergency crews could reach the remote location.

Rossokhaty was a computer-engineering professor at Concordia for three years.

Those have to be some of the worst jokes I've ever heard... but for some reason I still find them very entertaining 😀 :weird: 😀
