Rowing coach killed by lightning at regatta

[schumi]

A national rowing regatta ended tragically when a rowing coach and school pupil were struck by lightning at the weekend in Gauteng.

The regatta at Victoria Lake in Germiston was called off due to thunderstorms on Saturday afternoon.

As final packing-up was under way, “a male rowing coach, 19, and a male learner, 14, from a Cape Town school, were struck by lightning, sustaining injuries,” said National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) Gauteng station commander Gerhard Potgieter.

Those darn jiga-watts tend to do that to a person.

clearly, the rowing coach had a pre-race prayer and asked the Lord... 'Here, gee my krag' and the Lord said here take 10 megawatts... TO THE FACE!!!, clearly, the Lord has a cruel sense of irony.
