Miraculous Rescue: 19-year-old American Survives Lightning Strike Through Phone Charger

An incredible incident occurred in Alabama, USA, where 19-year-old Lisa Henderson became a victim of a lightning strike, receiving an electric shock through her mobile phone charger, reports Metro.

During a severe thunderstorm, the girl was in bed, using her phone connected to the power grid. Suddenly, a powerful electric discharge pierced her body, traveling through the circuit from the outlet through the extension cord and the charger cable.

Henderson's salvation was her lightning-fast reaction – she managed to throw the phone away, which, as experts note, probably saved her life. The arriving medics were amazed by the girl's luck – her position at the moment of impact prevented her heart from being affected. After the shock, the victim temporarily lost her memory.

An amazing fact is that for Lisa Henderson, this is already the second case of encountering a lightning strike. According to statistics, the probability of surviving such an incident twice is only 1 in 15 thousand.
