The Apple Ipod is not only good for storing your music, and videos but can also save our life. That's what it did for 14 yr. old Sophie Frost. During a lightning storm she sheltered under a tree when lightning struck. Sophie passed out as the current traveled through her Ipod headphones, which were hanging from her school uniform, burning her chest and stomach. The doctors say her Ipod saved her. Paul Knightley, a forecaster with MeteoGroup UK, said it was likely that the tree had been struck by lightning which then passed to the teenagers through their wet clothing. He said lightning takes the easiest route to the ground and the metal in Sophie's Ipod would have been the best conductor. So if i were you I'd carry my Ipod where ever i went.Sunday, June 21, 2009
