This was the dramatic scene as the world's largest statue of Jesus was hit by lightning.

The bolt parted the thunderclouds over Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to strike Christ the Redeemer.

The statue is 130ft tall, is made of 700 tons of reinforced concrete and stands atop the 2,296ft Corcovado mountain overlooking the city.

That oughta be good enough to attract millions of Jesus freak tourists to Rio for the next few years.

yep

the event in its self is to be expected , but the photo is rather awesome .

That'll teach that blasphemous statue for taking the Lords name in vain!

If you look closely, you can see a US Marine charging up the mountain .... sorry, wrong thread.

Amazing photo. What would be the odds of actually getting a pic like that?

The muslims will have a field day with this.....

As they would if lightning struck a mosque, blaming either the Great Satan and or Israel for antagonising Islam with their secret weapon.
