yes, I wonder what are they smoking there...
Well... I suppose with 400,000 flights without fatalities in a typical year, it's still fine to use probability-wise...
***************************************************
we had this weird snowstorm today with lightning and thunder (pretty impressive), and a landing jet was struck by a lightning:
In Boston, a plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Logan International Airport after it was struck by lightning as it approached the runway. No injuries were reported among the 35 passengers and three crew members on board Comair Flight 5437 from Baltimore, but an airport spokesman said the plane suffered minor damage.
Janie Brooks, one of the passengers, said it was a "lovely flight" before the lightning struck.
"There was a large ball of orange something -- very loud and very bright and very bumpy. We were a little scared," Brooks told WBZ-TV.
