Europe's tallest skyscraper was successful lighting-conductor

The tallest skyscraper in London and the European Union (EU) was hit by lightning during a storm on May 22, 2014, but was saved by lighting-conductor. 310-meter The Shard was not damaged, the portal ee24.com reports with reference to the British media.

After the incident, there were parodies and funny comments in social networks with inherent British humor, for example, that it was the Mayor of London Boris Johnson, who let lightning as horrible Sauron from the trilogy "The Lord of the Rings."
