There was a news story a few weeks back that a guy was struck by lightening in the city (he was on the roof of his building during a thunder/lightening storm!) duh.....
To: blam
The next tallest buildings don't have lightning rods?
Were lightning strikes in downtown Manhattan a particular problem prior to the building of the World Trade Center towers?
(Seems like "slow news day" material.)

I think this story is pure BS.
Before there was a WTC, it was very common for lightning to strike the mast on top of the Empire State Building. I saw that many times as a child.
NYC has more skyscrapers than any other town, all of them well grounded by their steel skeletons.
