CocoaOla:
don't mind them they think everybody na olodo car can never complete a circuit for fire ignition from thunder and electric cable line the tire is ruber the paint is insulators na educated illiterate full Nigeria

nurey:


With the angle of photography it would be hard to determine what vehicle make.

Only 2 popular road manufacturer in naija I know uses emblem on the steering, VW and BMW.

with the front seat design, dash board layout and the fact that it's an SUV, my guess is it's a BMW X5

AutoReportNG:
In Nigeria, we play with thunder and lighting a lot without knowing that they are powerful and seem to be more dangerous than we normally thought. A lady has taken to Twitter to thank God for the life of her sister, according to her, Lightening struck my aunt’s car this morning in Abuja. God save us.

Imagine if her sister was in the car or someone close by... According to the images sent to us, the car was razed to the ground and nothing was spare, totally destroyed. So, when next you want to abuse someone of thunder and lightning, please, think twice again.

See more images of this car below...

It's a Lexus RX 350

kingreign:



your car was raped by kazeem prior to the incident or you had a leak from the fuel.

kingreign:
all electrical in cars have Earth or ground wirings. So what then do you call those ground wires attached to bare metal frames on the body? Earth wire. Meaning the car is grounded/earthed.

2RUTHHURTS:

If earthing means grounding, I was asking you to know how the earthing is effected since the car metal body has no connection to the ground.

iTearHerToto:
Lightning struck with no rain and burnt the car to ashes

Ok even if it's raining the rain wasn't just enough to quench the ablaze car hmmm
Or maybe... Or what?

Even my dog will snarl at you with a ferocious attempt to bite off a chunk of your flesh if you brings this trash to his face... But Zoogerians believed it...
And some are even thanking God

According to science this cannot happen to a car by lightening. As a matter of fact a car is one of the safest places to be during lightening and thunder strikes because of what is called the FARADAY CAGE, which is the metal frame that surrounds the car ( pls google for more insight).

You're safe in a car because the lightning will travel around the surface of the vehicle and then go to ground. This occurs because the vehicle acts like a Faraday cage. Michael Faraday, a British physicist, discovered that a metal cage would shield objects within the cage when a high potential discharge hit the cage. The metal, being a good conductor, would direct the current around the objects and discharge it safely to the ground. This process of shielding is widely used today to protect the electrostatic sensitive integrated circuits in the electronics world.

Unless that lightening was send by a thunder god from the persons village, or the car is a convertible lacking a farady enclosure, the person better find who burnt the car!

You confirmed what he said. Lightning can't do shit to a car.
Even the top gear bloke said the car shell acts like a Faraday cage.
Fake news.!!!

bixton:



It's never good to see one view on any subject matter. Sometimes the possibility of it occurring might be 1 in 20.
Check out the views of persons here .........

HeavenlyBang:
Fake. Cars are Faraday Cages and can't be burnt by lightning.

This car was in a fire accident, that's all. Nothing lightning-related.

kingreign:


This is fake and it's a lie. Remember cars are formed in a way similar to Faraday cage?
Car Manufacturers earth all their cars, besides, all cars conduct and transmit charges from lightening to the earth harmlessly.

Leave them, lightening hardly strikes anything that is insulated from the ground. Cars have rubber tires which is a very very poor electricity conductor.

9icetoo:
Those are the views of persons who don't know any better. Science has told you with demonstration (video evidence), that lightning can't set a car on fire. That car was zapped several times and far longer than any lighting occurrence would. With a live human inside. Do you think Top Gear or the German engineers would have tried it if they were not 100% sure? Or you take the opinions or fifth grade "scientists" over that of seasoned and established researchers? You can believe what you like. It's your choice.

CyberWolf:
Even though your analogy is true, There are instances where lightening can cause partial damage or even burn the whole vehicle down.

thank God for her life, maybe her hands are clean that is why God saved her.
