Re: 323 Dead Reindeer In Norway Some with Missing Heads Were NOT Killed By Lightning!
Here is some fact about burns from lightning strike from this site:

[link to emedicine.medscape.com]

Few individuals experience the full energy of a lightning strike because only about 3-5% of injuries are from a direct strike.[20] Most of the energy is mediated by other factors, including the ground, a tree, or other object that, once hit, transmits the energy to the person. In fact, fewer than half of affected persons have signs of burns or any other marks. When burns do occur in developed countries, they are usually superficial. In addition to electrical injury, many may suffer concussive blunt force trauma if they are close to the strike point.[21] Internal burns or deep burns, such as occur with high-voltage electrical injury, are rare.

In developing countries, severe burns are reported much more frequently. It is unclear if these are sampling bias, if reports are inflated by journalists who hear the story several times removed from the incident and expect the victims to be “charred beyond recognition,” if the mechanisms and physical damage are somehow different, or if the injuries appear to be more severe owing to delayed access to good medical care.[22] Ninety percent of sub-Saharan housing, usually mud brick with thatch or sheet metal roofs, is not lightning safe. Keraunoparalysis, a temporary paralysis after lightning injury that may last for minutes to hours, may keep even healthy individuals from escaping their home as the overhead thatch, ignited by lightning, burns and falls on them.[22]

WERE THEY MISSING THEIR HEADS BEFORE OR AFTER THEY DIED I WONDER?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71714769


I have it on good authority that at least 94 of them were headless when they got there. It is a genetic defect.

From the comments:

I cant find ANY other event in history where lightning has killed multiple humans/animals. This story makes no sense at all.

The heads have been removed by the veterinary authorities of the county to test for a disease that is unrelated to the event. Heads have been moved by helicopters to a university lab for the testing.

The rock formation at the site shows where the lightning struck, and most likely they were victims of their own fear behavior, where they will stick together very closely when confronted with danger. They will also seek higher altitudes, which in this case made them more likely to be struck by the lightning.

A heard of wet reindeer sticking together will be very conductive, so if hit directly be a lightning bolt, the current is free to move without much resistance. We are talking about 30000+ ampere currents that will kill instantly.

we are talking about reindeer & a norwegian sheep turned up..

Clearly a troll. Have people not seen the film Trollhunter?
The funny thing is, troll hunter is a black comedy that almost semi-seriously mocks this kind of thing, where animals are killed by trolls but these deaths are covered up by the Norwegian government and put down to other things like bears.
So, kind of ironic when 300+ reindeer are killed, and all their heads are taken for some sort of analysis.
