Epic bolt of lightning injures 23 Boy Scouts in one hit
There are 23 Boy Scouts out there in line for the "Struck by Lightning" badge. Their troop, aged between 12 and 16, was sheltering in a lean-to at the Camp Bell Boy Scout Camp in Gilmanton, N.H., Monday night when a bolt of lightning caused every one of them of them to suffer electric shock bus.
Fire Chief David Parenti said six of the boys suffered "somewhat serious" bus on their chests, though none of the injuries were life-threatening and no one was directly hit. Three counselors were also hurt, though they bravely refused treatment to save ambulance space for their young charges. The Scouts reportedly handled their injuries well, proving they really are prepared for anything. [Source] [Source]
