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 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.
