Andersen Air Force Base in Guam boasts the tallest control tower in the Air Force. In 1986, an air traffic controller was struck by lightning as the bolt proceeded through the tower. Although he received only a backache, the lightning left a hole with surrounding scorch marks on his fatigue shirt and his undershirt. The lightning strike also ignited a portion of the field lighting panel, which caused the runway lights to go out immediately. Lack of a lightning rod is the most likely reason the controller was struck. Proper precautions against lightning strikes can prevent such occupational safety hazards.
关岛的安德森空军基地拥有空军中最高的控制塔。1986年，一道闪电穿过塔楼时击中了一名空中交通管制员。尽管他只是背部疼痛，但闪电在他的工作服衬衫和汗衫上留下了一个洞以及周围的烧焦痕迹。雷击还点燃了一部分场坪照明面板，导致跑道灯立即熄灭。控制器被击中最可能的原因是缺少避雷针。采取适当的防雷措施可以预防此类职业安全隐患。
