  1. Hey Mike & Wench:

    Re: planes and lightning– not all lighting is created equal. The rare but extremely powerful positive lightning (5% of all strikes, and 600% stronger) far exceeds the safety-ratings for aircraft. It’s also powerful enough (up to one billion volts) to start fires and damage/ melt the fabric of aircraft.

    and

    “And under the clouds the investigators documented extraordinary strikes of “positive” lightning. These bolts were six times as powerful as ordinary “negative” lightning, and they lasted ten times as long. Where ordinary lightning could punch a tiny hole in a wing, positive lightning could burn through struts and wires and rip pieces apart. These bolts carry forces many times greater than what airplanes are designed to withstand. In one crash, rivets had been melted. In another, a pipe had been crushed and twisted. Crash specialists suspected these planes had been brought down by strikes of positive lightning.”
