Christ the Redeemer Gets Hit by Lightning Every Year - Rio De Janeiro - #shorts #viralshorts. Designed by Heitor da Silva Costa and sculpted by French sculptor Paul Landowski, Christ the Redeemer is one of the fascinating 7 Wonders of the World. The statue was originally built in France and then moved to Brazil. Reaching 125 feet tall and placed atop a mountain, Christ the Redeemer is not protected from lightning—it actually gets hit by lightning around three to six times a year. Frankly, before the IFFA World Cup in 2014, it was struck by a bolt of lightning that broke one of its thumbs.
