We had a bit of a thunderstorm this afternoon, sadly a nine year old lad was struck by lightning while football training and has since passed away!
So sad.

Saw this earlier.  Stopped me in my tracks.  Ghastly for all concerned.

[snowdrops]

Oh how terribly sad for everyone concerned

[mumofstig]

Very sad, because it is so very rare

Tragic   

Did you know the child, Aidy ?

Did you know the child, Aidy ?

No I dont, he plays for team Clifton Rangers that a very good friend is involved with and they cannot believe what has happend.

We got dragged up to Isleworth by my ex-husband so he could play in a cricket match, quite a few years ago now.  The next weekend another team played there and a player was killed by a lightening strike during their game.  It shook my ex up.

It was on the news tonight - poor boy, can't imagine what his parents are feeling. Terrible. How fragile a thing life is.

[rowlandwells]

this is indeed very sad news and our thoughts go out to the family you wouldn't believe your son could go football training and not return home its very sad

[Subversive_plot]

What a terrible loss. His family and friends must be devastated.

Very sad indeed, on a positive note, his Dad has said Jordan was an organ donor and has helped saved three lives!
