Lightning strike on an airliner. Photos
« on: July 11, 2009, 08:03:14 AM »

Thanks to an American Airlines' pilot who sent these photos of an Atlantic Southeast Airlines/Delta Connection aircraft, after it suffered a lightning strike.

If these photos don't scare the you-know-what out of you, I'm not sure what would.

Anyone want to feel comfortable in an airliner flying through a storm again.

This strike went all the way through and would have depressurized the aircraft.
