Air France 447 Caused By A Lightning Strike?

CNN Video on Air France Flight 447 - Electrical Failure

Lightning striking planes is very common and is very unlikely that a lightning strike would take down a plane. The fact that they received the electrical failure message indicates that part of the electrical system was indeed functioning, according to John Cox, Former U.S. Air Flight Captain. The A330 has very redundant systems. The loss of one part of the electric system does not create a full blown emergency. View the video for more information.



BULLSHIT!Lightning alone won't cause an airliner to go down!Jeez
