The statue is 130ft tall, is made of 700 tons of reinforced concrete and stands atop the 2,296ft Corcovado mountain overlooking the city.

I don't know how much concrete attracts lightning, or if "reinforced" means there is steal in it, but you wouldn't want to be hanging around that
2,296ft pillar of Jesus in a thunder storm. How ironic.
