fudpuck · 07-01-2004, 02:03 PM

That is a wild view.

It's not grounded though, and made for energy to fly around the outside...so it works out. But it's still scary having that many volts shoot through like that...haha.

First you say it; then you do it.

Mr Pheer · 07-01-2004, 02:07 PM

Planes get hit lightning fairly often, its usually not dangerous. And before a plane can be type certified by the FAA, it has to be demonstrated that it can take a lightning strike and not suffer significant structural damage.

Marcus Aurelius · 07-01-2004, 02:17 PM

Finally figured out what it was that shatner saw....

I used flash to just grab the important part of the original gif and exported it as a gif.

Tala · 07-01-2004, 02:28 PM

I don't have any idea about the capabilities of Flash. I haven't gone that far yet.

Mind if I snag your copy? I want it in my sig, and I said it first.

The last confirmed civilian plane crash that was directly attributed to lightning in the U.S. was in 1967, when lightning caused a catastrophic fuel tank explosion. Since then, much has been learned about how lightning can affect airplanes, and protection techniques have improved. Airplanes receive a rigorous set of lightning certification tests to verify the safety of their designs.

What happens when an aircraft is struck by lightning?

Although passengers and crew may see a flash and hear a loud noise, nothing serious should happen because of the careful lightning protection engineered into the aircraft and its sensitive components. Initially, the lightning will attach to an extremity, such as the nose or wing tip. The airplane then flies through the lightning flash, which reattaches itself to the fuselage at other locations while the airplane is in the electric "circuit" between the regions of opposite polarity. The current will travel through the conductive exterior skin and structures of the aircraft and exit off some other extremity, such as the tail. Pilots occasionally report temporary flickering of lights or short-lived interference with instruments. We have heard reports of the activation of cabin oxygen masks; no doubt frightening for the passengers.

Exactly. Looks a lot worse than it is.

KC · 07-01-2004, 04:50 PM

I've been in a plane that was struck by lightening... Nothing happened at all except a loud boom that scared the shit out of everyone on the plane.

I was scheduled to take the same plane on my next leg as well.. They inspected the plane for over an hour and eventually cleared it to fly. We climbed back on the same plane and flew safely to our destination.

The boom that you hear is seriously loud enough to make you crap right in your pants.

I have been about 100 feet from a lightening strike on the ground and it sounded llike a bomb going off.

Maybe it is not so bad in a plane because it isn't really going to ground but just looking for a path to ground and so leaves the plane and continues downward.
