We all love our iPods for many reasons, so this story may give you just another to love these little media players. Apparently Apple’s clever devices have the ability to deter lightning!A 14 year old British girl by the name of Sophie Frost, was attempting to take shelter from a thunder storm, when all of a sudden a lightning bolt knocked her unconscious. Note the key use of the word unconscious, meaning she lived; the iPod, being metal and the best conductor, took the brunt of the bolt, saving Sophie’s life.
While I can’t say the iPod was as lucky as the girl, at least she is safe thanks to her Apple product; she is currently being treated for several burns, but is completely fine other than that.
It would seem as though we have all learned a valuable lesson; always keep your iPod with you during a thunderstorm, as it will save your life. Guess you better keep it next to the mirror you carry on hand for deflecting lasers.
