Look at the pictures.  Amazing only one person lost their life.  Firefighters were quick in putting out the beginnings of a fire, which certainly saved the day.

I think it's the images that show just how it is that they survived. It broke apart in three pieces, but notice how other than that, all three sections are still very much in tact. Makes me feel a little safer about Boeing. +1

Here is a couple more pics of Boeing 737-73V HK-4682 (cn 32416/1270), One before, and one after that fateful approach...

I found a lightning flash in the video and took that frame out.

Here's another story of a lightning strike at a 737 with damage to the horizontal elevator (used for pitch up and down).


or this one:

 :-(  :-o

The pics on this site http://forum.bgspotters.net/viewtopic.php?p=33734#33734 show the damage D-ABXM sustained to her left elevator trim tab much better. A chunk of it is missing on the inboard side. Damage to the elevator is also better shown. The horizontal stabilizer sustained no damage.
