Not hurt, but I bet it was a hair raising experience for the passengers and crew!

Probably walked around the airport zapping everyone after they landed. [smiley=laugh.gif]

I bet that was scary experience to all involved. Luckily I'm not flying to Rome tomorrow! But I have read that airplanes are usually safe places to be on thunderstorms.
