Not a red herring
Guys definatley not a red herring. Guy in mortal fear of flying after the event. He is an experienced traveller so there was a significant event.. Power loss was in the cabin only probably only lights that failed. FO came on after about 5 mins and advised that there had been a lightning strike and that following a systems check all was OK they were continuing to Dublin. There was no engine failure just a change in engine note probably to compensate for the altitude drop. No media involved in this purely a report form a guy on board
