Video: The shocking moment of the plane hit lightning in the sky

A new video posted online made viewers shudder when they saw an aircraft seemingly struck by lightning in a storm in the northwest sky of Saudi Arabia.

The short video was shot by someone on the ground, showing that the plane was moving high in the air, above the town of Hail, northwest Saudi Arabia, the sudden giant lightning flashed in the sky. .

Even though Ajel reported, the "Lightning God" attacked the target during the incident. However, expert Richard Taylor of the British Civil Aviation Association said: "It is difficult to verify that from the video. But, it is likely that lightning hit the plane."

Mr. Taylor assured that large civilian aircraft were actually designed to withstand the effects of a lightning strike. Thus, it is rare for them to suffer serious body damage in such incidents.

The video was published following another shocking clip earlier this month, which captured the moment when an Icelandicair plane from Reykjavik to London was hit by lightning when approaching Heathrow airport in the British capital. At least two other planes, one from Edinburgh to London airport and one from Prague to Heathrow, are also believed to have been hit by lightning at night on the same day.
