Lightning kills football teamAll 11 members of a football team were killed by a bolt of lightning which left the other team unhurt, a Congolese newspaper has reported. Thirty other people received burns at the match in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Kinshasa daily newspaper L’Avenir said local opinion – known to believe in charms and spells – was divided over whether someone had cursed the team. The two sides were drawing 1-1 in the match in eastern Kasai Province when the lightning struck the visiting team. “The athletes from [the home team] Basanga curiously came out of this catastrophe unscathed,” the paper said. There was no official confirmation of the report – a rebel war affects much of the east of the country. The first strike In a similar incident at the weekend, a premier league soccer match in Johannesburg was brought to an abrupt end when lightning struck the ground. Half the players from both teams – the Jomo Cosmos and the Moroka Swallows – dropped to the turf. Several writhed on the grass holding their ears and their eyes. Spectators and coaching staff ran onto the pitch to help. Fortunately no-one was killed. မူရင္းလင္႔ http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/203137.stm |
