A dramatic incident occurred when a passenger plane in the United States was struck by lightning moments after landing during a severe storm. The aircraft, carrying dozens of passengers, had just touched down on the runway when a bright flash lit up the sky, capturing the shocking moment on video.
According to local media reports, no injuries were reported and the aircraft did not sustain significant damage. Passengers described the experience as terrifying but were relieved that the situation was quickly brought under control by the flight crew and ground personnel.
Meteorologists noted that lightning strikes on airplanes, although alarming, are relatively rare and modern aircraft are designed to safely withstand such electrical discharges.
