Viva Airlines
Flying on a Wing and a Prayer!!!
Published
Horrified passengers in Mexico got a light show they were not banking on, when a thunderbolt hit the wing of their jet.
Viva Airlines was en route to Mexico City when lightning hit the left wing … a blinding flash of light followed.
The heat was so intense from the strike, a portion of the wing was glowing in the aftermath.
Passengers were freaked out, some of them screaming and probably some saying their goodbyes.
The airline says not to worry … telling local outlets the plane was never in danger and it landed safely.
So are the passengers afraid of flying, or are they calmed by the maxim … lightning never strikes twice?
