The lightning rod fell off from the 30th floor. Was there any damage to the surrounding buildings?

Falling objects from high altitudes are often very dangerous. Even small objects, such as an egg, will cause serious injuries to pedestrians if they hit them due to gravity and other factors during the fall from high altitudes. Not a small degree of harm. On the evening of October 20, an object fell from a height in a 30-story building in Zhongshan District, Dalian, Liaoning Province. That night, many netizens reported that a lightning rod on the top of a building in Zhongshan District fell off and hit the building next to the Harbor Bridge bus station. A passerby was knocked to the ground. Eyewitnesses said that around 7 o'clock that night, a loud bang was suddenly heard. A street tree next to the Harbor Bridge bus station was smashed, and a huge lightning rod hit Renmin Road. Unfortunately, A passerby woman was knocked to the ground. Witnesses said: "It seemed that the injury was particularly serious. The woman lay motionless on the ground and was later pulled away by 120." ?

At about 7:40 that night, the injured woman was sent to the hospital by 120. After examination, it was found that the woman was in her 40s, had multiple fractures in her head, chest, limbs and other parts of her body, and had lost blood. She suffered sexual shock and was in a coma. The woman was then sent to the ICU for emergency rescue. Unfortunately, due to serious injuries, the woman passed away on the morning of the 21st. Disasters really come from nowhere. You never know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident. This is a pity for this innocent woman. Falling objects from high altitudes are inherently harmful, let alone something as big as a lightning rod falling from a height of 30 stories. It is conceivable that there will be a certain degree of damage to the surrounding buildings.

On the morning of October 21, the reporter came to the site of the incident - the Harbor Bridge Bus Station in front of the building. According to the reporter's observation at the scene, the street tree next to the station was smashed and only one was left. Small branches and the bus stop awning next to the tree were also smashed, and warning tape was drawn around it. The cause of the accident is still under investigation. Incidents of falling objects from heights are extremely dangerous. We hope that other buildings with relevant facilities can conduct regular safety inspections of such objects to avoid further accidents.
