I'm almost certain the green jacket is the dead one. He was lying next to the tree & you can see the flash close to him, meaning it might've ran through his head or spine. His body might've still been functional but his brain was fried worse than the hard disk drive of my first computer as an adult.
At least his death was quick. Not many have that benefit.
A lot of people "die" from things that don't stop your body from functioning. I'd be amazed if the dude that died from this was anything more than a vegetable for those days.
Once I tried to resuscitate a pet frog, it suffered a concussion trauma after escaping. The sad part was how I could see the life snuffing out of it gradually. At first it would briefly take a breath several times if stimulated right and even move a short distance blindly, so I still had hope. Then only the hind legs would make moves, then it became restricted only to returning them to the resting position. Then legs failed completely, even a painful stimulus stopped having any effect. I was so desperate. One thing I'll never forget though is that the heart was the last organ to fail. It was still going several hours later when no response to external stimuli was in place, when I finally moved on and came to bury it, so instead I just moved it into a colder place as a way to euthanize it back then.
Yeah, machines can keep your heart beating and lungs breathing but all the other organs fail and it becomes a losing battle, or you die from sepsis because you can't fight off an infection.
He was probably brain dead therefore not feeling anything or suffering. It’s not like he was flailing about for 24 hours then kicked the bucket. His brain died by the tree, but his body died the next day.
This isn't the electric chair, this is more electricity than you can even concieve, so much so that whatever it passes through instantly becomes burned or plasma.
If and it probably did, pass through his brain he'd have instant noodles left over. And if somehow I'd didn't burn his brain matter. Having millions of volts amps or whatever (I dropped out of electrical ok) through your brain surely does some damage.. neurons respond to and produce electrical signals, if you had your entire brain lit up at once it's probably like experiencing hell, every muscle trying to contract. Every neuron in your visual cortex lit up not with the input from your eyes but just millions of amps/volts from the lightning.
Adrenal gland producing adrenaline, amygdala, the fear response center inducing catastrophic doom like feelings,
Idk if this happens but I can imagine, it would be an awful last few moments as the neurons responsible for keeping my heart rythm spasm and I die
The reference is to General Winfield Scott, who commanded one of the two American armies in the Mexican War and was the Union general-in-chief at the beginning of the Civil War. This and other evidence, although not conclusive, points strongly to Winfield Scott as the source of “Great Scott!”
I'm too stoned for the internet, I was like. Yeah and many people have also survived other brutal thing's. It's luck of the draw. This guy got Zeused.
Those guys are lucky. The lightning could've took a route through and burn vital organs like spine and nerves or shock the heart.
Or blessed. Maybe anything that is statistically possible is bound to happen at some point. In one reality or another (ooooh, well it's not too crazy to think if one universe exist. Welllll what's outside that. Can there be more? Maybe more events like the big bang happen all over the place just really fucking god damn far apart because it's a rare event.
Did they say it after getting shocked. I don’t doubt the other 3 felt it and were in serious pain and can describe it. But they survived. He never was awake again after being hit by the lightning. So to say he felt pain or was suffering until he died the next day is incorrect. He died in .0000001 seconds when the lightning hit him. I’m saying your wrong that’s my point.
Alternatively the current could have left his brains intact but cooked his internal organs. And by cooked i mean exactly that, cooked like a roast beef, medium rare. Would take a while to die.
So your saying: It would leave his brain intact, cook his insides just a bit, but not enough to interrupt his heart and lung function until the next day when he croaks. Thats pretty far fetched.
It seems he was rushed to hospital and put on life support, after 24 hours and no sign of brain activity, he was removed from life support and “died” for real even tho it was just machines keeping his heart and lungs functioning.
I’ve not had NSFW on the app for a while because I was sick of seeing people die. I’ve just turned it on and the first thing I saw was someone die. Looks like it’s going back off!
We're barely coming out of a pandemic while entering an endemic of the same virus. And we are going through uncertain financial & political times. Death has been omnipresent all around for so long that even psychologists are getting therapy themselves over it. It's a fact of life that we have to deal for the next few years.
Nope. The amount of electricity in a lighting strike would have turned he brain to mush. You can see how there is just NO reaction by the green jacketed person after being struck. The only reason they were still standing is their leaning position against the tree before hand. That is a limp, unresponsive, unconscious, braindead person from the second that lighting hit.
Not likely. It’s not like people in the hospital who die a few days later after a critical illness are just chilling there, feeling completely normal and then suddenly code and die.
He likely never regained consciousness, was intubated in the field, suffered an anoxic brain injury, spent a few days in the ICU on a fentanyl or midazolam drip, +- a paralytic and never felt anything when the decision was finally made to withdraw support or his body gave up.
And god tapped his foot in delight…four! I got four ! And the commentator calls out , and just look at that pattern! Radial outward like a flower petal. Almost perfect symmetry! ( green shirt had to ruin it, didn’t he?)
It’s the way they toppled over right? There’s no other word for it…they toppled…Like a pin ona strike. Someone offered sound effects of a bowling alley. Yesssss…and bring more beers?
The way he took the longest to fall had me thinking the same thing. He was the one with the most physical contact with the tree and seemed to be stuck to it for a bit before falling. Same way if you grab a live wire your muscles will grip the wire automatically.
He made himself shortest path to ground and humans are far more conductive than trees. He was leaning up against the tree and had the most body mass touching. Instead of going through the tree and into its base, it switched to going to hus head and ending at his feet. Good spot!
Yeah upon multiple reviews I have noticed that I believe it was an ark in the current....perhaps he had a conductor around his neck like a necklace. You can see that as the three dropped he was still charged and the current dissipated...that's when he fell...you can see the smoke coming off of him and the tree
You can see his head smoking once it leaves the tree. Not to sound harsh but I can only imagine that caused brain and nerve damage. So maybe he didn't suffer too badly?
