A terrifying moment happened for Joao Contreras Fuentes a soccer player for Sport Aguila — a Peruvian national soccer club. <br /> <br />And the whole thing was captured on video!!! <br /> <br />The incident happened during the second half of play this past Tuesday when a lightning bolt appears and strikes the young soccer player. And it happened SO quickly that only a puff of smoke appears around the young man who subsequently crumples to the ground. <br /> <br />Initially the report from Peru was that the young athlete had died, but actually he survived and he knows it's a blessing that he did! <br /> <br />He recently said: <br /> <br /> "It's a miracle that I survived the impact from a lightning strike. The doctors told me that I've had a lot of luck." <br /> <br />Sometimes it's better to be lucky than anything else! <br /> <br />And after watching this footage — it's clear this soccer player is lucky to be alive!!! <br /> <br />We're glad he's OK. Hopefully something like this never happens again. <br /> <br />The odds would seem to be against it, but the odds were also against something like this ever happening!
