ID & Transcript: Anirban is wearing a black button up shirt, standing in front of a white wall. He points up, a lightning illustration appears. He signs, lightning can strike the same place multiple times! Take the Empire State Building in New Yok City as an example (an image of Empire State Building appears): the 1,454 foot tall building gets hit by lightning (image appears to show the building being hit by lightning at night) about 25 times a year! How dangerous! The Empire State Building has a copper lightning rod at the top to allow electricity to travel through a wire into the ground where it is safely discharged. (Image with white background and the building is shown, with a green line at the top leading through the building to the ground). Very interesting!
