First time I've seen a video of a lightning strike on an aircraft.

I bet they served a lot of cocktails on that flight.

I bet they sold a lot of cocktails on that flight.

Indeed and they should have been on the house. I would love to hear from a passenger.

OMG! Was anyone hurt? Did they have to land?

I thought I had placed the full article, sorry about that. Anyway, no one was hurt and the aircraft flew on 10 hours to the UK.

They didn't say the cause of the mishap, a bit scary. The article mentioned 376 people dying in crashes I don't remember hearing about. It was 5 and 6 years ago though.

This is enormous, and hard to believe something so big could fly. I wonder how they test fly these things.
