Popular 9 year old lad killed after being struck by lightning in Blackpool
Real Sad
for all that knew this nice lad. [Jordan raised £2,500 by running 30 miles in ten days.] [A nine-year-old boy who died after apparently being struck by lightning on a football field in Blackpool has been named as Jordan Banks. Police officers were called shortly after 5pm on Tuesday to fields near to School Road after reports a child had been injured. Emergency services attended and the boy was taken to hospital but died a short time later. It is believed the boy was struck by lightning, although inquiries are still ongoing.] https://news.sky.com/story/nine-year...banks-12304287 |

Real Shame as this Lad was raising money for a Charity. I guess it is rare. |
This is awful. Its weird, I dropped my son at athletics last night and I was just about to leave when they called it off as it had started lightening. I thought they were being a bit ridiculously over cautious then I saw this on the news and I was so glad. Just such a sad thing.

Around 2000 people are killed annually by lightning
The bolt is about as thick as your thumb and 2-3 miles long Temperature wise it's 30,000C or 5x hotter than the surface of the sun |
Poor boy...

Poor kid. He seemed like a genuinely lovely one as well. Hopefully LFC can make some form of gesture to his memory/family.
|
It breaks my heart to see such a waste of life.
But you have to take comfort in the thought that god needed him. |
