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
