Hello all, I have just read an interesting story in the newspaper about a British Airways 757 flight..
Back in October last year, a BA B757 was flying from AMS to LHR when it was struck by lightning, which resulted in the injury of the first officer, who was leaning his arm near the side cockpit window. The pilot was fine, but has not returned to duty as of yet. The a/c landed safely at LHR.
I was wondering, has anyone ever flew on an airliner that has been struck by lighning? It sounds quite disturbing if the occupants inside can be injured by a strike..
Regards,
