Although this is something that no one wants to believe can happen, airplanes are hit by lightning more often than we’d like to imagine. Although many planes are built to withstand such a force of electrical current coming from the sky, it still doesn’t make us feel any better. Plus due to the electrical charges the lightning produces, it can cause the plane to malfunction, which is one of the scarier reasons why no one wants the metal body of the plane they’re riding to get struck by something so fierce. The next time you fly in a storm, remember that this is actually a normal occurrence, although that might not help the most nervous of flyers.
