The Christ the Redeemer statue was struck in the early hours of Wednesday morning as a spectacular electrical storm lit up the sky.The iconic statue is the largest stone-work of Jesus ever built and stands more than 2,000 feet above Rio on top of the Corcovado Hill.It was hit by lightning in February 2008 and had to undergo a serious restoration because the bolt damaged its head and chipped the right thumbNamed one of the seven new wonders of the world in 2007, the statue is made of 700 tonnes of reinforced concrete.(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
