Just to add to the tales of daring do....
Mate of mine on the headset during a pushback (1-11 I think) at MAN, bolt of lightning grounded within a couple of yards, all went very quiet until the flight deck could be heard urgently "...eng? eng? you ok?.."
Like a true professional our man blinked away the tweety birds and stars and continued the push.
His name was Nigel too. Does that count?
