Wondering why I haven't blogged for the past 2 days?
Well wonder no more, I was on a business trip to Germany and my plane got struck by lightning on the flight home.
About 30 seconds after we took off there was an almighty bang and a bluewhite flash outside. After thinking 'SHIT WHAT HAPPEND? 'I looked out the window to make sure the engine haddn't caught fire of fallen off. It was still there and I couldn't see any flames so I calmed down a bit. Untill I glanced across at the Airhostess who looked even more petrified than the passengers.
The Captain came on the tannoy after a few minutes and said ' I expect you noticed we were hit by lightning, don't worry it happens all the time. The plane is built to with stand this sort of thing.'
How...reassuring.
ReplyDeletePilots don't seem to realise that people don't fly every day and hence, something like being struck by lightning is actually quite terrifying.
Glad you didn't die!
