Amazing how these buildings are engineered to take these hits like they're nothing, no harm done, even the aircraft beacons just keep flashing...wow

You know why? They were designed as energy colectors they are harvesting electricity from the sky...

Because they are meant to withstand lightning that’s why they can take lightning strikes...
Proof that every Chicagoan says Sears instead of Willis

Tall buildings like that all have lightening rods. 100% safe.
Wow! 2:00 was my favorite one!
Living in NYC I prefer the Sears Tower over World Trade Center Freedom Tower any day and Chicago I love the Midwest
That is why tall buildings have lightning conductors to send the charge into the ground,directing the charge away safely...they are meant to attract the bolts rather than hitting some place harmful...check it out.. if you are able to visit such buildings,if you look around them carefully ,you will find on one side or corner or so,huge copper cables going down into the ground...usually its on a corner or maybe even a few corners..sometimes they are covered to prevent it discharging and causing harm.

Noticing lightning bolts thicker in diameter now days? Since the one that hit the Vatican, I've noticed this. A bit more than 1.21 gigawatts, there.

Tall structures generating upward leaders. These come off the very top of structures
I wonder if they will ever find a way to convert that ridiculously high voltage discharge into usable electricity or other form of energy.

Not that powerful if a simple lighting rod can stop it
Extrém
The Wall street journal said 'Lightning Will Have to Strike Twice for Trump to Win' God heard them and strike 3 times, don't you get it? God can not be mocked.
Hmmm bet they are able to store that energy in Tesla coils and never have to pay for electricity
0:01😱
Wow look at that....and I believe it because I was video taping it from my window in the Western suburbs...I think that has to be the worst lightening I have ever seen it was literally nonstop and my camera was only picking up the brightest flashes but there was plenty of bright flashes. I have seen nonstop lightening but I still felt like this is the worst its been. I like the ending.
Mami. Te. Extraño :-)
lol BUT HOW
That lightning clearly hates Trump.
Trump is in middle? Hardly even rates lightening wise compared to the big boys
perfect example of the right place right time!!! please forgive me if I sound crazy for saying this, but yo isn't this considered to be a "myth busted", because I thought they say lightning doesn't strike in the same place more than once.

chris shoats I know, that's a myth. It's Super rare but it does happen. The reason Willis, or Sears tower as well as other buildings get hit by lightning more often is because they're designed to attract it and turn the energy of the lightning into energy that the building can use.

A Chicagoan No. Lightning strikes tall structures repeatedly because they launch upward lightning when negative leaders from an IC or +CG move over them.

Why can’t we harness all that lightning to power the towers.
