Lightning Played in Super Slo-Mo

Incredible footage of a lightning strike slowed down. One strike of lightning (1 second) turns into 3 minutes of footage. See what few people ever see! Lightning physicist Vladislav Mazur and meteorologist Tom Warner watch a video of a lightning strike that has been slowed down so 1 second of footage is played back as 6 minutes of film.

Lightning happens in under a sec, but when shot at over 11,000 frames per sec, we can see all of the creeping details as it flashes through in over 3 minutes. Stunning.​
