Jesus statue struck by lightning
OHIO - A SIX-story statue of Jesus Christ was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, leaving only a blackened steel skeleton and pieces of foam that were scooped up by curious onlookers on Tuesday.
The 'King of Kings' statue, one of southwest Ohio's most familiar landmarks, had stood since 2004 at the evangelical Solid Rock Church along the Interstate 75 freeway in Monroe, just north of Cincinnati.
The lightning strike set the statue ablaze on Monday, Monroe police dispatchers said.
The sculpture, about 19m tall and 12m wide at the base, showed Jesus from the torso up and was nicknamed Touchdown Jesus because of the way the arms were raised, similar to a referee signaling a football touchdown. It was made of plastic foam and fiberglass over a steel frame, which is all that remained on Tuesday.
The nickname is the same used for a famous mural of the resurrected Jesus that overlooks the Notre Dame football stadium. The fire spread from the statue to an adjacent amphitheater but was confined to the attic area, and no one was injured, police chief Mark Neu said.
Estimated damage from the fire was set at US$700,000 (S$973,980) - US$300,000 for the statue and US$400,000 for the amphitheater, fire captain Richard Mascarella said on Tuesday.

Seputar pengisian yang saya kongsikan dengan adik-adik minggu lepas telah saya mulakan cerita tentang kejadian Kilat. Seperti firman Allah dalam surah Ar-Rum:24
" Dan diantara tanda-tanda kebesaran-Nya, Dia memperlihatkan kilat kepadamu untuk (menimbulkan) ketakutan dan harapan dan Dia menurunkan air (hujan) dari langit, lalu dengan air itu dihidupkannya bumi setelah mati (kering). Sungguh, pada yang demikian itu benar-benar terdapat tanda-tanda bagi kaum yang mengerti".
Bagaimana sebenarnya kilat ini secara saintifik telah dikaji, ia akan kerap berlaku di kawasan-kawasan yang paling tinggi pencemaran. Seperti kalau di MALAYSIA, kawasan yang kerap berlaku kilat adalah di Kuala Lumpur, Pulau Pinang dan Johor Bahru. Dek kerana pencemaran udara yang tinggi, kilat secara semulajadinya akan mengekalkan kandungan gas diudara pada peratusan yang asal.
Sebab itulah, bila terjadi kilat, selalunya akan disusuli hujan. Kemudian, kita akan hirup udara yang sangat segar selepas itu. Begitulah kebesaran Allah SWT.
Walaupun kadangkala kita takut dan tak suka pada kilat dan petir, namun sebenarnya kejadian itu terkandung hikmah yang sangat besar.Subhanallah.
Merujuk semula kepada berita yang berlaku di Ohio yang saya selitkan diatas tadi, dapat kita lihat bahawa sebuah PATUNG TAK GUNA yang dinamakan King of Kings itu, tak mampu pun nak melawan KILAT yang Allah swt jadikan. Itulah namanya patung yang terhasil dari ilusi manusia. Tak mampu langsung nak melawan kejadian KILAT yang realiti dari Allah SWT.
Jadi, marilah wahai manusia sekalian, mari kita mendalami ilmu kosmologi. Tak rugi!!! Lagi banyak kita tahu, lagi dekat kita dengan pencipta. Insyaallah.
~ fakta saintifik tentang kejadian kilat, tak dapat saya uraikan dengan baik kerana tidak dapat menemukan buku tentang itu. Hanya sekadar perkongsian yang didapati dari training.
Wassalam
