Nike Zoom-Air tennis shoe worn by a boy struck by lightning at a bus shelter. Dr. Glover’s testing of exemplar tennis shoes contaminated with a saline solution confirmed that the 480-volt source that powered fluorescent lights at the bus shelter was insufficient to penetrate the polyurethane tennis-shoe material. Only high voltage from the lightning storms that were witnessed around the bus shelter at the time of the boy’s death could have penetrated his tennis shoe.

Remains of a 480-volt circuit breaker panel examined by Dr. Glover in a mechanical/electrical room at a major international airport in the United States.
An electrical fault and ensuing explosion occurred at the energized panel while electrical workers were installing wires from two air compressors to the panel.
