Lightning crashes computer systems in Palmerston North



07.04.2004 4.00 pm



Lightning bolts crashed computer systems and could be to blame for trapping 200 people in a Palmerston North city building yesterday.



Workers at the Land Transport Safety Authority's building in King Street said they were locked in their office when security doors froze shut about midday.



The doors locked after lightning struck the city during a hailstorm that swept the area.



The doors act as a barrier between staff and the reception area and provide the main access for staff working in the office.
