I understand the bad weather conditions, but why would being hit by lightning ruffle the pilots so much? I thought it wasn't a big deal on modern aircraft.
The ASA pictures are not from a lighting strike. That was a wild rumor bouncing around the internet for awhile. It was from an electrical fire that occured when ground power was applied. See the NTSB report here. http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20090303X74824&key=1
Open mouth...insert foot! Thanks for the correction!
