Amazing how these buildings are engineered to take these hits like they're nothing, no harm done, even the aircraft beacons just keep flashing...wow

[@Danickas0]

You know why? They were designed as energy colectors they are harvesting electricity from the sky...

[@killdozer4619]

Danick, not only that but the buildings have lightning rods on top of them.

[@aaronpingol1566]

lightning always struck the tallest one

[@dogeify1383]

Because they are meant to withstand lightning that’s why they can take lightning strikes...

[@ThePandeezee]

Proof that every Chicagoan says Sears instead of Willis

[@DontTripChickenStrip]

Lol fr tho. Still to this day.

[@DetectiveConan990v3]

dude im not even from chicago and i call it sears tower

[@teresafarrell6457]

@@DetectiveConan990v3 Thank you! 😄👍

[@teresafarrell6457]

That's as it should be. 😁 #MyHometown #LoveMeSomeChicago

[@brandonschultz642]

​@@teresafarrell6457 Same, even though I'm also not from Chicago, it will always be the Sears Tower to me

[@AmazingArends]

Tall buildings like that all have lightening rods. 100% safe.

[@AveMaria82100]

Wow! 2:00 was my favorite one!

[@phoebecatgirl9968]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@russmorgan4495]

That is why tall buildings have lightning conductors to send the charge into the ground,directing the charge away safely...they are meant to attract the bolts rather than hitting some place harmful...check it out.. if you are able to visit such buildings,if you look around them carefully ,you will find on one side or corner or so,huge copper cables going down into the ground...usually its on a corner or maybe even a few corners..sometimes they are covered to prevent it discharging and causing harm.

[@Nkkicute]

Wow!!

[@anthonyweaver4662]

The Sears Tower has to be one of my favorite buildings in the world

[@lilflashplays]

It is mine it is my favorite

[@JohnSullivan-jp6qp]

Living in NYC I prefer the Sears Tower over World Trade Center Freedom Tower any day and Chicago I love the Midwest

[@chungdo8622]

I saw this cuz I live really close to Chicago, a storm on August 2nd, 2015 was insane!

[@OG_BlackBazooka]

My birthday August 2nd 😃

[@weathercrazy]

Dan, as always, amazing video...quality, sound just stunning!

[@emiliofernandez7264]

excellent lighting

[@VRQuickDrawMcGraw]

This is my theory, lighting is the starter to The Great Pyramids of Giza’s motor.

[@jackvolkwyn470]

that would be sick

[@patricktate4782]

When do you think it will charge up

[@newyorkgaming5283]

This HAD to have been on the news

[@danw1374]

That last lightning bolt struck something right next to you

[@scrollfinger]

Noticing lightning bolts thicker in diameter now days? Since the one that hit the Vatican, I've noticed this. A bit more than 1.21 gigawatts, there.

[@Destrothjaan]

Time Travelers!

[@Nkkicute]

@@Destrothjaan lol good one!

[@MicrosoftsourceCode]

That was quite awesome watching the steaks coming to or from the building

[@chungdo8622]

Skokie is right next to Chicago, I saw this, but a storm a few months later, basically, injured people!

[@jimmykuzel5678]

jimmy kuzel i love it 19 most incredible lightning strikes ever it is cool

[@inglewoodhylia5013]

Amazing keeping everybody safe

[@oldiesmusic76]

Incredible video and photography. You should sell your triple play, enlarged and framed. You could make some nice $$$$!

[@rrammohan4163]

wow...wonder how efficiently these buildings are lighting protected.their lightning resistors should be the best....

[@gujju2026]

Crazy how this happened again after 10 years now

[@TeslaExplorer]

what an amazing design

[@xcupcakesx4514]

[@Nkkicute]

[@fernandovergara3119]

[@5star.daniel1]

I went ti the willis or sears tower at day and night and i passed by the trump tower as well

[@SuperGuldgossen]

WOW!!

[@patcola7335]

The power of GOD on display.

[@jaas0225]

Not that powerful if a simple lighting rod can stop it

[@jensvancalster9644]

nice

[@Shaijumv916]

Tats Thor !!

[@barrywjonessr5175]

Wow

[@takehase9896]

This reminds me of the old game Missile Command.

[@schlafanzyk]

I wonder if they will ever find a way to convert that ridiculously high voltage discharge into usable electricity or other form of energy.

[@TheEAFOS]

thats exactly whats happening here! why do you think only those three buildings are being hit?

[@mooseman6273]

Tesla did it years ago. Yes I necro'd this

[@mirandaanttila9058]

cool

[@halo062885]

That's awesome. Y does it keep hitting that antenna

[@thelightninghunter23]

Tall structures generating upward leaders. These come off the very top of structures

[@Skammy5]

1.21 JIGAWATTS!

[@vanessacroft2027]

i feel sad that all these building get struck by lightning so many times. :(

[@HardlineFeminists]

Brilliant!

Pretty

[@ultimateman3065]

How's this even possible

[@totallable]

its called lightning rods buddy

[@bananabeetv3730]

Chicago’s weather doesn’t seem normal to me

[@user-nx5vr6cd1d]

ياالبيه عندهم امطار

[@Sheri45myvideos]

Wow look at that....and I believe it because I was video taping it from my window in the Western suburbs...I think that has to be the worst lightening I have ever seen it was literally nonstop and my camera was only picking up the brightest flashes but there was plenty of bright flashes. I have seen nonstop lightening but I still felt like this is the worst its been. I like the ending.

[@martheynen1647]

Hoe kan het dat je bijna geen donder hoort

[@Joey-et7jw]

bij de eerste hoor je echt wel een donder he, maar geluid heeft ook tijd nodig om te reizen dus duurt het even voordat je het hoort

[@falcospawn7175]

Sears tower? You mean Willis... *gets punched in mouth*

[@sycoroenjd1217]

i doesnt matter the building used to be an office for the sears company

[@PRHILL9696]

Sears Tower

[@jennyfurr]

🤣

[@hiralalhiralal9899]

Hi

[@wolfpackcj2290]

paused at the perfect moment

[@chrisshoats3850]

perfect example of the right place right time!!! please forgive me if I sound crazy for saying this, but yo isn't this considered to be a "myth busted", because I thought they say lightning doesn't strike in the same place more than once.

[@achicagoan5480]

chris shoats I know, that's a myth. It's Super rare but it does happen. The reason Willis, or Sears tower as well as other buildings get hit by lightning more often is because they're designed to attract it and turn the energy of the lightning into energy that the building can use.

[@thelightninghunter23]

A Chicagoan No. Lightning strikes tall structures repeatedly because they launch upward lightning when negative leaders from an IC or +CG move over them.

[@Nkkicute]

@@thelightninghunter23 say what now? lol

That lightning clearly hates Trump.

[@mrtafk7259]

well now i dont want to work in buildings with antennas now

[@PatrickStar-xy9sr]

Dude it's safe

[@dougiequick1]

Trump is in middle? Hardly even rates lightening wise compared to the big boys

[@lillianlin8154]

The Wall street journal said 'Lightning Will Have to Strike Twice for Trump to Win' God heard them and strike 3 times, don't you get it? God can not be mocked.

[@stormbreaker3095]

Yes and No, but intersseting Capitel.

[@charankoyaguri668]

Why can’t we harness all that lightning to power the towers.

Hmmm bet they are able to store that energy in Tesla coils and never have to pay for electricity

[@brendenstahl2878]

lol BUT HOW

[@brycemcdermaid7995]

Is this common in Chicago?

[@muskx7868]

Bryce McD Not really. I live there and it happens about 2 times a month I think.

FYI, it is called the Willis Tower for now

[@thelightninghunter23]

You must be fun at parties.

[@MadMatt-bs3xv]

Chicago Legends Na, I don't think so, it'll always be the Sears Tower.

[@Itravelbackintime]

To Many it will always be the Sears Tower. It would be if the Empire State building had it's name changed to something else many of the locals will still call it the ESB so go figure.
