Video: London’s Shard struck by lightning
Earlier this afternoon London's iconic Shard building was hit by lightning.
According to a YouGov poll, 57 per cent of Londoners think it's changed the capital's skyline for the better.
The 87-storey scraper has been given the seal of approval at one of the construction industry's top awards, voted the world's best.
It's at least a much more interesting building than the newly christened 'Salesforce Tower London'.
Still images can make it appear that the skyscraper is firing a beam of energy, rather than being hit, so we hope the video below helps clear things up.
