@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

@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

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)
