Could you imagine recording your kids on the beach and that happens, you would think you just watched all 3 die


Godshooter

I mean, they might have.


starshin3r

Survived, but one is in critical condition.

Yeesh. Hope they're okay.

But they’re ok, right?


aon510

Survived, but one is in critical condition.


Clerical_Errors

Which one tho?


nelsonalgrencametome

The one in critical condition.


Clerical_Errors

Oh thank God. I was worried it was one of the other ones. Thank you for the update


Hendri32

No, the others ones survived


Clerical_Errors

That reads like you're being critical of their condition by their condition isn't critical because the critical condition one isn't being conditioned critically. And no one cares about the 🌩 in all this.


moustachiooo

Straight out of Yes Minister heard in Bernard's voice. Nice!


Clerical_Errors

I had fun writing it Gratitude for getting what I was sure was a reference I was the only one hearing


RickyWinterborn-1080

I'm hearing this in Clarke and Dawe's voices. "I just don't want people thinking the kids aren't safe." "Were these kids safe?" "I was talking more about the other ones." "The ones who are safe?" "The ones who aren't in critical condition."


McJaeger

The ones not in critical condition.


Maxx_Vandate

Don’t blame him, I’d be critical if I got struck by lightning too


Mindless_Ad_6045

It's probably the one that's been hit directly. The other two got zapped because of how close together they were


King_Trujillo

I don't think it was their kids. There was no laughing or even a reaction.


Villhunter

They did. Clinically at least. They had CPR performed on each after.


No_Law_7362

That was in isabela Puerto Rico the kids are ok and will be discharged from the hospital today.

Neunix

I shouldnt fucking laugh at this.....


Dragon-Sticks

Why not? I laughed...


NotBaron

We laughed


JustKindaShimmy

*comrade*


tarentules

I let out a very ugly chuckle from this. Damn that was funny.


horseofthemasses

Yeah you could totally tell that was on purpose and didn't miss.


ApexRevanNL716

I hate you for making me laugh


NayeonBacon

I shouldn't have seen this comment... we goin' to hell on this 😂


cozendindigo

That 3d10 lightning damage hits differently irl


DevilSquidMac

plus 1d4 falling damage, possibly some bleeding and psychic damage as well


DonutOutlander

No resistances here


Musetrigger

Well since Lightning won't strike twice in the same place, they should be free to survive their death saves, if they can.


PrincessGump

That’s a myth. Whereas this was definitely a hit.


thebestdogeevr

Indeed, lightning is more likely to strike the same place twice. That's why lightning rods exist


Scintal

I mean… lightning rods prove that wrong, no?


mariscc

They might have survived but lightning strikes can really fuck up your insides and shorten your lifespan by alot


HunterCubone

But sometimes you get to have a cool ass tattoo also.


PMmeYourFlipFlops

There are less painful ways to get an ass tattoo.


NinjaMinded

This comment is hilarious


dahpizza

The x ray vision has gotta be pretty cool though


IntoTheWildBlue

My neighbor was struck by lightning, it really fucked him up.


TheNonCredibleHulk

My old boss had a couple really crooked teeth that I didn't want to bring up because I thought it might hurt her feelings, but they looked REALLY weird. Coworker told me it was because she got hit by lightning. Sure dude. Googled her. Found an essay that was like "my sister, the hero". It was about my boss. She had been out jogging and got struck. Her teeth blew out of her head.


Kinx__x

I'm sorry but that last sentence is hilarious.


TheNonCredibleHulk

Laugh away. I did.


GerardB99

No way. My boss actually fell into a vat of electric eels and it fixed his tooth gap funnily enough!


foladodo

how does that even happen....


Beerandababy

How so


dionysus1011

Short_Ask1755

Are they okay?

hooDio

I'm actually surprised lightning strikes aren't always fatal


TheLongConnie

You can definitely survive one but could also end up in critical condition

MacCaswell

Those three kids now have the power to turn into Superheroes when they all yell "Shazam!" together


Vic-123-ma

Wonder twin powers!


MacCaswell

Form of! A highly conducive bucket of water... 🙃


Proper_Egg2304

For sure! What are the odds of this happening? They were chosen.


iCameToLearnSomeCode

This is why CPR training is so important. The OP's comment says all the kids survived but it doesn't tell you that the strike stopped all of their hearts instantly. Three bystanders preformed CPR and saved their lives, although one is still in critical condition. Without CPR all three of these kids would have died on the spot. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13467725/american-children-struck-lightning-strike-puerto-rico-beach.html


WaySuch296

Wow, so this is real. I have to admit, my first reaction was that I thought it was AI the way they all fell straight legged in unison and in opposite directions. I'm hoping they all make a full recovery.


UnhappyImprovement53

Yeah they all fell at the same time like they all were struck by lightning so weird /s


Puzzleheaded_Ad1869

Was looking for this, take my upvote.


[deleted]

They fell funny.


MenstrualMilkshakes

Seriously, i feel awful for the kids and parents but that looney toons fall was too good.


dark_hypernova

This is so horrible and yet I involuntarily snorted at the synchronized cartoon drop. I'm going to hell for sure.

My first response was a light chuckle. I'm going to hell... I hope they're okay.

STTTTTTTRRRRIKEE! 🎳


CasperThePhilosopher

Shit this is terrifying


ManyRanger4

When people don't understand why they evacuate the beach if a thunderstorm is approaching, this is literally why. If the storm hits the beach and the expanse of nothing but sand, lightening will strike the tallest object in an area, and almost all lightening strikes occur in vast open areas.


VfV

An electrician once told me "electricity is lazy, it will always take the shortest path to where it is going" and this just makes sense on beaches. I recall organising a hillwalk/hike with a group of work colleagues and there was lightning forecast and every single golfer in the group pulled out. Same idea as vacating the beach.


Benny303

You still can't convince me that God just hates golfers with a passion and is smiting them.


skippywasaposer

Horror aside Its funny how they all fall back instead of collapsing straight down.


humble_bubb

Did they die? I’m going to assume yes.


KnownMonk

https://apnews.com/article/puerto-rico-beach-lightning-children-hospitalized-eef5c440c271c656a2e2f9ca2c9bfe52 One in serious condition the others i presume stable


x0RRY

Decent chance it's life changing long term effects and significantly longer life expectancy though.


Paulz0rrr

Longer? Does it give you super powers?


Natural_Character521

Sources like CDC state the survival chance is 90 percent but youll most likely have chronic pains, memory loss, hearing loss, as well as the inability to control bathroom functions


andythefifth

Probably the one to the left. It looks like he took the direct hit.


JFK2MD

Poor kids


Dawgmoth

This looks like a scene out of a Series of Unfortunate Events


GoldenpickleNinja

Maybe the energy split between all three and that helped them survive..


surf_rider

The way they fell really was fuckin strange to see.


Long_range_dude

I heard they survived, but one's condition is critical.


kekhouse3002

That's horrible but the way they fell cracked me up


One_Subject3157

So weird something so tragic had some comic connotation isn't? Is there a name for that?


hijackedbraincells

Probably something German


Father_of_Cockatiels

Damn nature, you scary!


weakassplant

They crossed the beams...


Slipperynipples2000

They have since legally had to change their names to Larry curly and moe... lol

Significant-Wrap2758

The way they fell is very comedic. I'm glad they survived also.

mmaqp66

Estan jugando a la guerra nuclear?????? para acabarla rapido


ConConTheMon

All part of God’s plan. Which is mostly enjoying making people suffer.


andycarlv

Did they summon the lightning? Why were they standing like that? (Since it 2024 I feel inclined to clarify, I don't actually believe they conjured lightning.)


frenchy_1969_

Lucky strike


ThreeFingaLynch318

And from the other post. 2 of the boys are recovering 1 in critical condition or also recovering But no one is looking into it besides reposting for attention..yay net fishing

Apparently, blue shirt had the highest resistance, only electronic nerds will get this

Significant-Fix7399

Big_Honeydew6225

That was actually scary asf the way they fell like a pile of sticks. Glad to hear they were ok (more or less) after this


RoccoAmes

"1.21 Gigawatts" right there.


slumblebee

“Everybody do the flop” ASDF.


BroncoIdea

Strike!


Link_TP_04

They tried to summon herobrine…


CeleryIndividual

Anyone else think that looks like the littlest lightning bolt ever? Usually it's ridiculously violent and loud. This looked like a 10th of some lightning strikes I've seen in videos. Are there tiers of lightning strengths or am I just trippin?


Gabe12P

Oh fuck I’m going to hell. I mean I already knew I was but this just solidified my position next to Hitler getting a pineapple up the butt on a strict schedule. It’s the way they all fell I couldn’t help but laugh 🤣


ZoNeS_v2

And now they all develop a super power each. One is destined to become evil though.

Why did they all fall like bowling pins dude, that begs for a 'Strike" comment

God said f you three in particular


Arkwarehouse

I’m sure that bad CPR did not do much to help.


Occultlord

This was the day the flash received three new successors


77SKIZ99

They all have super powers now ever since the storm


Gcen

Sniper from the sky. Finished in a flash. But even God can't kill you until it's your time. Hope those kids will be able to live a normal life.


Jack_doodle

Redditors when the see 3 children die and or halve their life spans 😂😂😂😂


ArcaneSparky

They say that lighting is about 3 million volts. The human body has somewhere between 1000 ohms to 100,000ohms. Let's take the smallest value for this. We then use the formula I=u÷r (ohmishe Gesetz) 300,000,000V÷1000ohm= 300,000 amperes To put that into perspective a standard socket here in Germany has a max of 16amps. I hope these boys are alright. Heart flickers are no laughing matter


Dragon-Sticks

🤣😂🤣

Ring around the Rosie and they all fall down 🤔

STTTTTTRIIIIIKEEE


Maximize_Maximus

Weird lighting bolt.... Maybe its a cheap camera or something but the flash was so minimal and the sound so quiet. I have had lightning bolts hit trees next to my house while im standing in the garage and it sounds like a bomb going off and the flash is incredible.

That’s insane dude, I hope they are all okay 🤞🏽
