  • your the idiot...it's clearly hittin the plane....get 2 the opticians

  • um..in a word..no. There is no explosion risk whatsoever. The plane (all planes in fact) is designed to take a lightning strike. The reason planes usually are grounded is due to the risk or presence of a microburst (downdraft.)

    The plane is made almost entirely of metal, so therefore, during a lightning hit, it is just like a wire in a common electrical circuit. Only some sacrificial parts are damaged (aka static wicks)

  • @hoogalabugala look a few pages backwards and there is the real answer

  • @hoogalabugala I think it has something to do with the fact that the plane cant contain all that electricity.

  • i believe that the plane was struck, but if it was, then why did the bolt continue downwards? just wondering

  • @sedwarg yeah precisly, just like a car.!

  • @metadera nothing would happen to the people inside even if it were on the ground! The planes metal body would act as a faraday cage

  • In Soviet Russia planes shock lightning....

  • looks like it got hit a few times....

  • Apparently it was a problem in the early 60's

  • Faraday cage effect...!
