| 1422552 | 2016-07-17 03:51:00 | Millions of tiny pieces raining down seems pretty safe, if it occurred as people were leaving the church after a wedding it could even enhance the ceremony. The powdered passengers also raining down wont be at all upset, and for some of them raining down on a church may even be seen as a good omen. For nonbelievers of course it is merely the invisible friend of your choice delivering his wrath on a heathen that deserved everything they got. On the other hand, lightning strikes on composite aircraft might just be a bit of dramatic but mostly harmless in-flight entertainment, unless it is spotted by Monty Orangeball, Wizard Prangs Reporter and dramatist to several media outlets: In his view it will be a case of a miraculous survival after a near miss that could have littered the earth with bodies by the score. The obligatory round of applause after the landing will also be duly reported. Persons with no actual knowledge of anything to do with electricity, engineering or aviation might be best advised to buy a bulk stock of foil hats, crucifixes, lucky rabbits feet and plastic shamrocks, before writing letters to the editor, the Minister of Planes, their religious advisers and the Lotto shoppe. All are equally efficacious. ;). |

Ken It would be reasonable to say that elements of "Faraday Cage' effect are present I guess, as Faraday cages are intended to bypass electrical charges, but any enclosed conductive area will have that effect. Cars and buses are a form of faraday cage, though buses or cars with shells of fibreglass or other non-conductive material would be somewhat less effective. You can wear an aluminium foil hat if you want to, but it may make matters worse. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
