 Here is a slow motion video of lightning hitting the antenna on the top of the World Trade Center. It is hard to tell at what speed the film is running at but the lightning is pretty amazing. There are also a bunch of strikes that zigzag around the sky and don't hit anything. I wonder if they had some kind of dampener connected to the antenna to absorb lightning strikes. Obviously the video was filmed before 2001.
