Lightning blamed for Chicago train shelter collapse


It looked like a scene from a big-budget action movie, but it was actually a drive through a weekend lightning storm in Chicago. The sparking came as a metal canopy of a pedestrian walkway blew onto the electrified line. Video shot from a car on the Eisenhower Expressway captured a wall of sparks as a metal canopy crashed onto tracks used by a Chicago Transit Authority train during a fierce storm on Sunday evening. No one was hurt, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, but it did make for a trending video. Firefighters had to shut off power to the train before evacuating it.
