That's funny! I was actually thinking to myself as I was putting it all together...watch, I'm going to spend all this time putting this audio file together and when I'm finally done, someone else will post it first Actually i was surprised that it hadn't been posted sooner...
I dunno, this whole thing seems strange to me. I don't doubt there was a lightning strike somewhere, but it surely wasn't at the airport. Something like that would not go unnoticed if it were that close. Somebody would have said something. In fact one flight even asked where the weather was and ATC said it was about four miles away...

I especially liked one pilot's question: "What's ATC Zero?"
yeah, I was sure that someone was going to beat me to it, I had taken my own time getting it done, had about, what, 2 hours to sift through?
hard to say, like you said, the controllers seemed to not know what was going on at that time, I would have thought it would have been obvious is the tower was struck, there would be a lot of light, and a nice WHAM, I would think. Then and again, another flight queried if they had gotten struck, as if they had seen it...
