Lightning

Not all that long ago, I was struck by lightning while flying. I saw the bolt right out the windscreen. It hit just to the side of the nose. And, in case you were wondering, there was indeed a browning of certain cotton fibers in the flightdeck that day.

However, my little incident doesn't hold a candle to this:

It's also important to point out that even after that, the plane is flying along under power without any obvious issues besides a lot of ruined pants. Even the nav lights and strobes are functioning after the strike.
