MS Lai, said to Chinese newspaper about the incident that ‘Something was very painful on my chest. I felt like it was burning. ‘I think I was unconscious for one to two minutes before I woke up. But I still could not move,’.Doctors said Ms Li’s vitals are stable but she has sustained a burnt wound of roughly 0.8 inches wide and 0.2 inches deep on her chest. Shen who is a professor of Physics from Zhongshan University, said this incident happened only because of her umbrella which attracted the lightning towards her. When the electric current passed through her chest, the wires acted like a Faraday Cage and channeled the current around her internal organs.
