 And another graphic¹ reminder² of man’s powerlessness in the skies, lightning striking this Emirates Airline's plane as it was landing in London, 500 passengers aboard this plane, as you can see, lightning striking the roof right above the pilots’ heads.Thankfully though, planes can handle it, and no one was hurt, and in fact, wasn't even a scratch.

 

Unbelievable.

 

On the plane. It’s incredible.

 

So that picture, you just showed about the airplane, so since 1967, we put airplanes through vigorous lightning test, each airplane that you fly has probably been hit by lightning at least once every year. 

 

They are built in structures that can handle it, there was a big crash in around 67 because of lightning and since then, they fixed³ that bald head, most airplanes, the outside of them, are kind of figged up by aluminum⁴, aluminum is a great conductor and it just kind of bounces everything off.
