Lightning Never Strikes Twice? 2 Planes Hit by Lightning Within Seconds (VIDEO)

A still from YouTube video by Owen Craft An American student managed to film two planes being struck by lightning within a matter of seconds over Seattle. The bolts went straight through the aircrafts’ fuselages and both were able to land safely. Owen Craft, a student at the University of Washington, was out on a routine trip to film lightning bolts. However, he got more than he bargained for as he filmed not one, but two planes getting zapped. “I was in shock, I was just thinking about how it was so amazing to see,” Craft said, speaking to the Seattle based KOMO News. There was a bit of luck involved for Craft, as he managed to get a close-up of the aircraft just at the right time, after spotting it in the stormy skies. “So I zoomed right in, and just as I did, the lightning struck right across the plane and I was just stunned,”the student added. Miraculously, no one was hurt and both planes were able to land safely.
