Lightning Kills 20 People During Congo’s Virus Lockdown by ExAngel007(f): 11:56am On Apr 02, 2020


Some 20 people were killed by a lightning strike
on high-voltage power lines in Congo Brazzaville,
the authorities say.



The incident happened on the first day of a
lockdown in the capital, Brazzaville, to help
prevent the spread of coronavirus.

So far 22 cases of Covid-19 have been
confirmed in the country including two deaths.

The mayor of Kintele district, Stella Mensah
Saddou Nguesso, said people were electrocuted
by the falling cables.

Eyewitnesses said one line fell on a house,
setting it on fire and killing those inside.

The other cable struck a pool of water in a
courtyard, electrocuting the neighbours.

Heavy rain has been falling in Kintele for several
hours.

Some of the dead and injured were rushed to
hospital by people in private vehicles as
ambulances could not cope with the numbers.
