According to news from northern Shan State, 2 young people were struck by lightning in Dabang Village, Mangao Township, Lashi City, 1 of whom was killed on the spot and 1 of whom was injured.
It is reported that at about 3 p.m. on June 30, in a shack in the field of Dabang Village, when 29-year-old Mao Sanbi was sitting and chatting with his friend, a large tree next to him was struck by lightning, and 2 people were affected by the lightning strike magnetic field, and Mao Sanbi died on the spot, and his friend's left neck was burned. The injured youth was rushed to Lashio People's Hospital for treatment and is not currently in danger of life.
The head of a non-profit organization who rushed to the scene to help said that at 2 p.m. on June 30, it rained and thundered in Lashio. As soon as the rain stopped we received a call for help, and we rushed to the scene to help. Most of the people who were struck by lightning were heart injured, and some were directly hit by lightning and burned black, and the man in Lashio was not directly hit by lightning, but was affected by a magnetic field, so the body damage was not serious, but he unfortunately died. We took the body of the deceased to the morgue of Lashio People's Hospital for cremation on July 1.
It is said that before that, there were also lightning strikes in Mangao Township. After the villagers were struck by lightning, they died of burns all over their bodies.
Thunder will produce a powerful electromagnetic field in an instant, and when a strong lightning current flows into the ground through a large tree and spreads around, it will produce different voltages in different places, causing radiation damage when the current flows through the human body, causing casualties.
