Lightning kills 8 cows in Roi Et, sends herdsman to hospital

A lightning strike killed eight cows and dispatched its herdsman to hospital in Roi Et’s Suwannaphum district yesterday (May 25).

 

Another herdsman, Adisorn Pittangthane, 23, was trying to find cover after a storm slammed the district when he heard deafening lightning nearby.

Looking to identify the area struck by lightning, he spotted Chalerm Sangkasing, 71, lying down next to his dead cattle. Adisorn tried to administer CPR to the elderly man then sent him to hospital.

 

Chalerm, who has now recovered in Kaset Wisai Hospital, said through red eyes that he felt “deafened” and has been hit by a “headache”.

 

Each of the dead cows were worth Bt30,000-Bt50,000, with their total worth being put at Bt300,000 as they were high-bred cattle. Their carcasses, however, went for an unspecified “cheap” price.

Does it seem odd the lightning killed eight cows outright, but not the herdsman?

Perhaps they weren't all at exactly the same spot when it hit?

At last an admission of the true worth of foreigners.

Waste not want not. This bovine was divided up amongst the locals.

I reckon herdsman got away with it coz' he had a lightning rod sticking out the bottom of a flip flop .. and the cows didn't .. wear f f's or lightning rods ..

Does that mean horses would get away with it too - wearing horse shoes?

 

I thought his name was Rod - 'hey, it's lightning, Rod.'

Or was it because he was just so fast at running after those cows - there goes Lightning Road again.'

The cows were obviously using their mobile phones at the time. Probably Huawei.

I bet they did... pretty damned fast too.

They were holding hooves when the first cow was hit and the herdsman was at the end of the line so got less charge. Only possible logical explanation.
