Lightning Strikes an Airplane
They say that the airplane is the safest mode of transportation. This video just truly proves it. What do you think happens when more common vehicles like cars are struck by lightning? Even if the car itself survives, there's a high possibility that its passengers would be fried. However, watch this airplane get struck by lightning. It doesn't even flinch! In fact, every commercial airplane is struck by lightning at least once a year. And yet there have been no reported lightning-related airplane incidents. Airplanes are built to withstand this kind of weather force. So they truly are the safest means to travel. However, it's still wise to not travel at all during violent storms.
