Mobile phone and death by lightning
I have been told by a friend that death of so many people by lightning during the recent thunder storms in Bangladesh could be due to the mobile phones the deceased may have had in their possession. The phones were probably on when lightning struck. There have been discussions on TV channels about the large number of deaths by lightning but no one mentioned the dangers of having a mobile phone on during a thunder storm. Would anyone tell us whether it is true?
