Russia - 2 Hunter Friends Out Camping Were Struck by Lightning
On 3rd July 2020 in Khakassia (Russia), 2 hunters died when they + the tree they were under were struck by lighting. The 2 friends, aged 34 + 35 years, had gone camping + planned on returning home 2 days later. When the men failed to arrive back to their homes, their relatives raised the alarm. On the 8th, their bodies were found.

Hopefully no animals were harmed in the making of that outcome.  |

Agree. It's hard to feel sympathy for the men since they were out there to kill innocent animals.

Interesting, the second guy seems to have been hit by a minor branching lightning arc directly to the head, while the first guy doesn't seem to have any injuries at all, seems like his heart stopped after he was electrocuted indirectly

Re: Russia - 2 Hunter Friends Out Camping Were Struck by Lightning
wannabe big men hunting animals with assault rifles. a real sportsman uses a bolt action, high powered rifle. there is no challenge if you can just blow the animal away with a barrage of bullets. |

Re: Russia - 2 Hunter Friends Out Camping Were Struck by Lightning
are you kidding us? Sorry; humans have DOMAIN OVER animals. Sometimes they get a good one over us but heck, that's more rare now days. You are delusional.    |

Yes! Those guns are a lot of metal ... I wonder if the lightening came down the tree looking for that metal? |

Those are Saiga autoloading shotguns. Hunters can't have assault rifles in Russia, lol.
