Leader of the Chinese TV channel Dalian TV Lu Xiaodong suffered because during a thunderstorm lightning struck an umbrella in his hand. Lu Xiaodong conducted a live broadcast, telling about the weather forecast right under the rain.
"My hand was numb, I saw yellow sparks as from electricity on my hand and the handle of the umbrella", - said the TV host. He added that when watching a video, sparks are not visible, so the discharge was probably not strong.
The airtime was held on April 24, 2017 in Dalian, in the north-eastern province of Liaoning. The video on which the incident was recorded is published in YouTube. Lu Xiaodong did not need medical help, reports Rosbalt with reference to South China Morning Post.
