Last year was a very hard year of work. The secretary suggested we go to Fort Lauderdale for the weekend.
We left on Friday in very bad weather. The pilot announced that the flight would be choppy. And choppy it was the entire hour and forty-five minutes.
With approximately 20 minutes to go...at at 22,000 feet --there was a loud bang and a bright flash of light at the left wing!! Most of the passengers gasp at the occurrence.
I sat at maybe 3 rows behind the left wing and saw the flash of light. The plane must have blown an engine I thought. ..................
A shortly after, the plot announced in a very calm tone that what we just saw was static electricity.
I guess that was the calming way of saying the plane was just struck by lightening!
The landing was not assuring either. The landing reminded me of a jet fighter landing on an aircraft carrier. Very abrupt.
My return flight is tomorrow.
