Delta Plane Lightning Strike

This brief lightning strike was captured on film by YouTuber Jack Perkins who just happened to be filming the row of planes grounded in Atlanta on August 18, 2015 when the direct hit occurred to the Delta 737 plane, Air Lines flight 67. Now the video has gone viral with over 1.5M views...


According to Delta spokesman Morgan Durrant, at least 111 passengers and six crew members were on board the plane when the lightning struck. No one was injured in the incident.

“Aircraft design allows lightning bolts to be safely redirected,” Durrant told Atlanta AJC newspaper.
“Fuselage structure and industrial-grade insulation acts as [a] super-conductive lightning rod that rechannels lightning around and away from customers and crew and out into the ground via the landing gear.” - rt
