1. Its not the simple lightning rod used. It's ESE type lightning arrestor which generates the self stream and gives path for the natural lightning to discharge. 
2. I sware I can see it glowing red after the second bolt
3. its got metal thingys that keep it from exploding i think we can all see y they did that
4. lightning proof :P
5. LOL i wouldnt want to be sitting on the top at this point.. Talk about bad luck :P
6. @kk456128 - It's just to give the lightning arc a safe ground. There's a wire all the way from the lightning rod to the bottom of the foundation. All skyscrapers have at least one lightning rod. If they didn't have one the lightning arc would go after the electrical wiring in the building, which would damage and possibly set on fire pretty much anything that's plugged into an outlet in the building.
7. @hbnm03 theres a lightning rod on the building to attract lightning, thats why it strikes there more than once.
8. that is really incredible! good job!
9. i though thunder cant strike more than once in the same place!
