Reply With QuoteBefore reading that, the article is written to suggest that 77 of them were struck by lightning. That would have been one hell of a blast. We're talking an impossible level 154 chain lightning! Damn nature you scary!Originally Posted by Curt James
Glad to hear that all of the students, including the 2 taken by ambulance, were responsive.

Lightning strike at Mississippi military base sends 77 to hospital
Lightning strike at Mississippi military base sends 77 to hospital
By Michael Martinez, CNN
UPDATED: 06:00 PM EDT 06.08.11
A lightning strike Wednesday afternoon sent 77 Air Force ROTC cadets to hospitals in the Hattiesburg, Mississippi, area, where they were all responsive and in stable condition, according to spokeswoman Maj. Deidre Musgrave of Camp Shelby.
Two of the 77 were sent by ambulance, and the remaining 75 were sent to the hospital by Camp Shelby buses, Musgrave told CNN.
All 77 were college students enrolled in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps, which uses Camp Shelby as its summer training site, Musgrave said.
The personnel were sent for medical evaluation because they were in the area of the lightning strike at a training site on Camp Shelby around 2 p.m., Musgrave said in a news release.
"We always want to be safe," she told CNN.
The remaining personnel at Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center quickly responded to the situation to ensure that anyone injured received medical attention, Musgrave said.

^ Agreed. The headline was definitely misleading. I probably should have passed on this "news".
77 people not hit by car!
