On September 10th, lightning has destroyed a famous large statue of Christ the Fisher in Mexico.
A 33-meter-high sculpture located in La Concordia, Chiapas went up in flames after the lightning hit. According to witnesses, Suddenly, lightning struck the Christ the Fisher statue, triggering a fire that spread throughout the structure. It was built of fiberglass, a highly flammable material that contributed to the rapid spread of fire. The sculpture, was created by the Peruvian artist Pedro VĂctor Cuya Ramos, and was erected on El Raspado Hill (begun in 2014 and taking 6 years), at an altitude of 200 meters. It held the title of being the fourth largest of its kind worldwide. In December 2020, a lighting system with solar panels was inaugurated, both for the interior and exterior of the sculpture, with an initial schedule that guaranteed six hours of daily lighting from dusk.
