Groom-to-be killed by lightning strike while posing for engagement photoshoot with his fiancée (photos)



A groom-to-be has died after being struck by lightning while posing for engagement photos with his fiancée in a popular tourist spot in China.


The horrific incident occurred at China's Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Yunnan province last week.


The man identified as Ruan, was hit by a lightning bolt during a wedding photoshoot with his fiancée at the Spruce Meadow, a popular scenic spot. He was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead, South China Morning Post reported.



Before the lightning struck, Chinese authorities reportedly issued a yellow weather warning, the third highest in the country's weather system.  


Despite the thunderstorm, the couple decided to go ahead with their planned photoshoot.


Pictures showed the rescue crew carrying the man on a stretcher in heavy rain.

This Anglo-Saxon victory, overshadowed by the more famous battle at Hastings three weeks later, is nonetheless significant as it was the last serious attempt by Vikings to conquer England.  Born in 1015 in Norway, Harald was exiled in 1030, and spent a dozen years as a mercenary commander, fighting for the Kievan Rus and the Byzantines in places as distant from Norway as modern day Russia, Iraq and Sicily.

Job Maseko, a WW2 hero, sank a NAZI ship with a bomb made from a tin can with condensed milk. He was denied the highest military decoration, due to his race.   Maseko was working as a delivery driver  when he volunteered for service in the South African Native Military Corps during WWII (NMC). Later he was sent to the 2nd South African Infantry Division after finishing basic training in North Africa. Due to South African race regulations at the time, they were unable to carry firearms. They were only allowed traditional weapons such as spears for guard and ceremonial duty.
