A scary experience for sure and one that I can relate to, my wife and I were flying to Texas a few years ago and somewhere over the US we flew between two huge thunderheads. All was quiet in the aircraft as l lightening was clearly visible on both sides, then….. BANG!. The sound inside the aircraft was so loud, queue a few screams and muttered praying from the person in front of us.
I can honestly say that touching down in Texas was greatly appreciated, only afterwards sitting in the Texas heat with a cold beer did the flight catch up with me. 😮💨
Just thought I’d share this with you, a shared experience somewhat. ✈️ ⚡️
Thanks so much for sharing and so sorry you guys went through it too. I know exactly what you mean about it hitting you after landing, I had a wobbly moment for sure when I was walking through Arrivals 😔
Cripes. I love this reminder to live life fully. As aside, my childhood home was hit by lightening three times (think phones exploding and TV's catching fire), until my Dad discovered there was copper on the roof!
My guess is that maybe they thought telling people it had been struck by lightning could have caused panic. I googled it after and it can sometimes damage the plane
