I don't think so. I think because it was on the ground, it did so much damage. It would have exited the bottom of the aircraft somewhere (would have like to seen the exit wound) near the ground (nose gear?) and shunted into the ground. That shunt then pulls the entire ionization charge through the plane at maximum ground potential.
Had the plane been in the air, it think it would have been a clean pass through.
I got hit on approach to Oceana in 85, but I was still 150 ft off the ground. The spot on the wing tip it passed through just looked like a TB tine scar on your arm.
All your hours, you had to have taken a lightning strike?!?!
Think of those guys wearing the mail suits that work off of helicopters on high tension wires... as much as 3/4 million volts. They're isolated from the ground. They reach out with a pole and pull a huge spark then it's gone once they touch the wire and all bodies are at the same potential. They slide off onto the HT wires and do their work. Sure the static in the air will make their hair stand up, but they feel little else. Now, if someone were to lower a cable from the helicopter to the ground then have the guy reach out with a pole, it'd kill the guy and blow the helicopter.

On February 28, 2009 at approximately 0840 EST, a Bombardier Aerospace CRJ-200, N830AS, experienced a fire on the ground shortly after external power was applied to the airplane in preparation for flight. The flight attendant and captain of the aircraft first became aware of the situation due to an unusual hissing sound which was quickly followed by smoke and signs of a fire. They immediately evacuated the airplane via the airstair without injuries. They were the only individuals on the airplane at the time. The fire department extinguished the fire, but not before it had burned a hole through the left upper cockpit crown skin. The airplane was registered to and operated by Atlantic Southeast Airlines as flight 5563 under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 21. The flight was to be from Tallahassee Regional Airport (TLH), Tallahassee, Florida, to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Atlanta, Georgia.
I’m willing to bet the PIC said “WTF“, but I’m also willing to bet none of them heard him say it. LOL Never a good sign when you hear the PIC say WTF. That was close

Bet this woke the flight crew
You're
the pilot of a
plane.
It's
on auto-pilot
and you're
catching up on
People
magazine and
having a cup
of coffee.
Suddenly
the loudest
sound you will
ever hear goes
off just
behind your
left ear.
You're blinded
by the flash
and can't
hear.
All
you can feel
is something
warm running
down your
leg.
Should
have gone to
the bathroom
earlier.
You
immediately
consider
retirement! |
