Metal Fans injured by lightning strike at weekend festival
Over fifty concertgoers were hurt and nine sustained serious injuries after a single lightning bolt struck a metal mast at a festival in eastern Germany. The With Full Force Festival Saturday night brought out over fifty bands for the weekend metal festival, but unfortunately fifty-one people were hurt after the freak lightning accident. According to Spiegel Online, the lightning strikes sent some music fans home early, and those who stayed were left behind in a wasteland of destroyed tents and deep puddles of mud. Emergency services spent several hours at the scene treating those who had been hurt by the lightning bolt strike. Luckily, no one was fatally injured and most of the injured concertgoers were able to go home the same night.
