The site asked me if I wanted to "install the plug-in" to view the video. That is always a good indication of someone trying to get you to install stuff you might not want installed.

I don't use Windows, so am differently susceptible than most.

As far as I can see the only plugin needed is Windows Media. My anti virus didn't pop at at any rate. So long as you don't go clicking around other bits of that web site you should (don't quote me!) be ok...

It played fine for me, didn't ask to install anything and nothing popped up to click on!!

Even on video it seems relatively innocuous to take a lightning stroke---I wonder if any avionics had some anomalies? or if the crew even noticed?
