A woman was killed when a lightning rod fell. Why did the lightning rod fall off the top of the building?

Another incident of falling from high altitude. On the evening of October 20, the lightning rod on top of the National Games Building in Dalian, Liaoning Province suddenly fell. The lightning rod first hit the bus stop, and then a woman was knocked to the ground. After treatment, he unfortunately had no vital signs. According to the local public security department, the reason why the lightning rod detached was because it broke and fell off due to lack of maintenance for many years. It can be said that this is a sudden disaster. The victim's family is currently negotiating with the building authorities, hoping that the victim can receive corresponding compensation.

Judging from the footage from the scene, the branches that were hit at the scene were scattered on the ground, and the lightning rod had been deformed, which shows how powerful it was. I really feel sorry for this woman, obviously. I am walking on the road well, but I never thought of being separated from my family. It is really heartbreaking! After the incident, the area including the bus stop has been cordoned off. The cause of the accident is still under further investigation. It is hoped that the relevant departments will announce the investigation results as soon as possible and provide justice to the victim's family.

Although it is a sudden disaster, this incident also serves as a reminder to other builders that they must regularly inspect high-risk equipment that has been in disrepair, including windows, lightning rods, or wiring. Etc., these all involve certain risks. Don’t wait until an accident actually occurs before regretting it. Therefore, I would like to remind some office building or building builders to remember to conduct safety inspections in places where there are hidden dangers to avoid such incidents from happening again. .

At the same time, when we walk on the road, we must also pay attention to safety and try to avoid those under construction or under high-rise buildings. Although we cannot predict it, we can stay away as much as possible to protect our personal and property safety. Human life is only once, so we must protect it. We hope that such things will not happen again in the future. At the same time, we also hope that relevant departments can intensify their efforts to strictly investigate high-risk places. This requires our joint efforts. .
