Plane Flying Into Lightning Storm Brisbane 20/11/08

[lk1dare]

Awesome view for the passengers, but he was clear of it.They would never fly into that on purpose unless it was a military hurricane hunter.

[ramype]

Insane Flying,The Pilots have the courage to fly so *-*! Awesome

[cazza2508]

omg I wouldn't of liked to of been on that plane with all that lightning

[Flusi888]

That is actually dumb of the pilots .. Not that much of responsibility what they have there. A storm like that should always be tried flying around. Well it looks like theres no way around a there so .. But still insane !!

[DarrenBonJovi]

bloody hell

[MsHuny1]

THAT PLANE IS INSANE BUT TO BE HONEST CONGALEADER20000 IS right the storm is MILES away!

[guitarlover727]

that's intense

[2pacostacos]

reminds me of florida usa from May-August (seabreeze storm season)

[SuperTrevorMan]

damn, in america our lightning storms are not like that

[cheaterkidki]

Disco in HEAVEN!!!!

[jonathantownsel]

i wonder wat happen to the plane!!???/

[Wattsy83]

that is 1 intense storm!!!!, i would love to see one like that here in adelaide!!!, no doubt we have them, but knowing when they are coming and being about to capture it is a different story... that storm doesn't even look real, or that its been sped up somewhat!!!. i know its reall, thats awesome!!

[Mathemaetica]

That's a pretty active cell. Most every Spring here in Oklahoma, we get pretty strong electrically active storm Cells much like that one with active LSPS that would induce an epileptic episode, it's absolutely ridiculous but it is also very, very beautiful. I've heard the stories of the massive storm systems you folks have over there in Australia that also share with ours that absolutely devastating "thunder blast" that seems only 100ft. up from the ground. Nature IS awe inspiring!

[NiteOwl1224]

That is pretty insane, but lightning strikes airplanes every day and nothing bad happens....but still, i'd be writing my will and praying to god while downing numerous whiskeys!

[iamrach85]

Holy fuck! I'd have never got on another plane ever again.

[AeroNevin]

How puny and pathetic we look in our flying tubes in front of Nature!!

[sukiesoya]

I was flying through this coming back I just put my head down and prayed lol

[thethugyone]

OMG is it safe to be flying into that?!?! I would have seriously thought I was going to die if I was on board that plane. Never seen anything like this! Wow!

[MrMitchellsMagic]

Me and my sister and parents were flying home to England from Toronto on Saturday and we flee through a lightening storm! We gad been in the air about 3/4/5 minutes and the air hostess said over the tannoy "the captain is switching the seatbelt sign on as we are approaching turbulence" even though the sign didn't come off! We didn't really get any turbulence due to it though. It was scary and close though all the same!

[cupcakecrazy02]

I would have been so scared if I was in that plane.

[sarkizmutafyan]

Oh my god, I have never seen sth like that, constant lightning, wow!!

[saskaenarut1]

dayum that lightning is pretty sexy o_O

[MrTbaging]

@MrNeonmonkey12 Fuck chuck norris. that was a damn skilled pilot with balls of steel!

[jallar4]

I have never seen that much lightning in my life i usually see 5 per storm

[TheRiddie]

"Wonderful Weather we're having" said the flight attendant.

[MultiDan1979]

great vid of a great storm...never get storms like that in the uk

[Mainland444]

Quite simply the most fascinating lightning video I have ever seen. 5 stars... two thumbs up.. and whatever else I can say to mean "GREAT VID!!!!"

[Darrrrvid]

I would of been shitting it!



[chieldeventer]

Amazing storm, never seen a storm like that here in Holland. Great vid!

[NoobsAreUsh]

Thor is pissed

[ezteta]

damn! thats scary

[checkzack]

For a second it looks like the plane was going to get zapped. That was a beautiful storm!

[Scorpiusgrl]

beyond beautiful! I am fascinated by lighting; the danger calls me!

[deckens123]

lightning is not a big deal for flying airplane.And as the plane will gain altitude, the storm will be underneath of the plane. so no big deal! pilots are well trained for that.

nice lightning though.

looks like God had a tough day with his crews :)

[k8pyl3b1h]

That plane is most likely about to land at the Brisbane airport, and that storm is most likely 100km past Moreton Island. Good view of the storm heading out to see though

[k8pyl3b1h]

Sea*

[busdriver153]

good luck! mr pilot!

[WILKO50]

amazing amount of lightning

[TheFlyleafArmy]

Flying + Lightning Storm = Me pissing my pants.

[kvjhedfbv]

[CrAzYnAdEz]

[orangepaints]

[laosandburma]

God welding the new gates of heaven...

[uchilledfrance]

Holy cow !! Now, that's ferocious. Almost non-stop thunder and lightning for a good 3 mins...Beautiful to watch though !!

[KingBrandon51]

what a dumb move for that plane probably went into the twiglight zone

[KingBrandon51]

what a dumb move for that plane probably went into the twiglight zone

[KingBrandon51]

what a dumb move for that plane

[thatsMrButtbreath2u]

Imagine the sound right under that storm..constant thunder..

[VvicsieE78]

wow what a beautiful storm...i bet it was a breathtaking view from inside the airplane, yet not as comfortable for the pilots to fly under such conditions...great clip

[RockandRol1]

that was so cool

[popcorn790]

holy mother of god that lightning looks insane

we don't get anything like that in england

[PakistaniGirlRocks]

If there is a lighting then the airlines are cancelled and the plane can not go further. But it seems here that the storm is mild and the plane can go pass !

[syafiqpilot]

That must be Damn scary...

[congaleader2000]

he was in the clear the whole time. that storm was a good 20 miles away

[ObamaIsMaBabyDaddy]

@congaleader2000 He is literally going DIRECTLY into the storm.

[jojoman2367]

@congaleader2000 yeah but thats some scary shit..nvr seen anything like that before..

[evereverman]

what a tremendous storm!!

never seen like that realy..

[Zacdayak63]

Wow I haven't seen any lightning storms like that in canada

[bowlchamp411]

same here all we get are thunderstorms or severe thunderstorm maybe a bit supercell and tornados but no lightning storms

[AuffeOmme89]

very optimistic guy ^^

[soccerchilles]

lol the pilot was total DGAF

[thebich2man5421]

@soccerchilles DGAF?

[VVolfat]

some lightning is so far away so the thunder dosent reach the man.. .. and 1 question.. how many days in a year dose it thunder in brisbane? :P

[ColdplayRocks750]

wow! this is so cool! hmmm awkward there wasnt any thunder! usually lightning like that would set off loads of Loud Thunder! Great Vid!

[ridedirtba]

Erie and beautiful.

[EureDudehelt]

Amazing id love to see something like this and i hope the Pilot headed to an Airport near by

[jwed6]

i've never see lighting like that in the midwest

[18daryus]

Wow , I never saw something like this

[Ci44Ci]

Majestic!

[LedZeppelin8906]

That pilot basically flew into the middle of a war, brave soul

[megamanBNSTfan]

what a tough pilot..

[Rachy91]

I have seen lightning like that once, and it did that for three hours. It was awesome.

[jadoan26]

Omg I have never seen anything like that in my entire life.

[Monteehp]

[chubbypops18]

[fallen4drake]

[BeSaVvy]

I'm guessing that was a qantas jet.....
