Can you imagine a person living a normal life even after being struck by billions of volts of electricity?
Alice Svensson
In the year 2011 when Alice was 12 year old, was hit by a bolt twice while taking shower in her home. Her family heard her scream and ran towards the bathroom where they found her clutching on the metallic shower head. Although she was barefooted and all wet, she was fortunate enough that this struck didn’t do any big harm to her.
Sophie Frost and Mason Billington
