Nippon Airline Struck By Lighting In Osaka - AMAZING 
 Wow! Once in a lifetime for the crew, and photographer.
 Entered the nose and exited the tail. Reckon what the peak voltage was?? 
 Never mind the voltage, the peak current was phenominal , the voltage across the plane must have been low since the plane was acting as a conductor. If the plane was a bad conductor (high resistance) it would have melted the plane. The fact that the plane was able to conduct the current saved the day. 
 Spectacular shot of a Nippon Airline being struck by lightning in Osaka . 
 Amazing that the aircraft itself and the people and equipment inside can survive such a hit! 
 Even more  amazing that there was someone to film it in real time!! 
 This is in normal time

This is in slow motion 

This is a still photo just on initiation of the bolt.
Notice the ground and air bolt feeder strike at the same time.
