Bolted

Lightning struck an Emirates Airbus 380 last Saturday on its approach to London's Heathrow Airport. There were no casualties nor was there damage to the plane as the bolt traveled through the plane in its journey to the ground.



Lightning strikes planes from time to time but because it acts as a conductor of electricity (helps to be in the air, made of metal, and not touching anything).

Needless to say, it probably a rather shocking experience for the videographer to see this take place.
