Lightning kills man on summit of mountain

An odd story out of Peru… a group of tourists were hiking around Machu Picchu, the ancient Incan citadel high in the mountains. Two bolts of lightning simultaneously struck the summit of Machu Picchu, and the next mountain, Huayna Picchu. A Russian tourist, standing upon the summit was slain by the bolt which struck Machu Picchu.

What a fucking gloriously incredible death that must have been.
