Notice the lightning didn't go through the plane, it traveled from the front to the back then jumped to the ground.

The pissing actually starts when they look out their window after the strike and see a really fake looking "monster" crawling around on the wing.

and yes plthijinx..... I wonder....has this ever happenened to you? At what altitude? I've been researching some since lastcall and I nearly got struck a few weeks back.
