Lightning Bolt Hits Plane

Bet you thought that a lightning bolt hitting a place would cause mass destruction, nope. Here’s a snap of a plane getting hit by a lightning bolt while taking off from the Osaka Airport. Lightning is not dangerous to commercial airliners, as the electricity flows around their aluminum skin. It’s real easy for us on the ground to look at the scientific fact that no one would get hurt, try telling that to the people on the plane, I would have soiled myself.
