Some people won't fly because they fear crashing. My concerns are a little less fearful. I don't worry about crashing as much as I worry about our flights being on time, finding my connecting gate and my luggage being lost.

Luckily, none of the passengers aboard were harmed, and the plane made it safely to the ground.

Believe it or not, airplanes generally sustain a couple of lightning strikes per year, and are designed so that their bodies act as a conductor, allowing the lightning to pass through without causing any damage.
