Perhaps a more constructive approach ( pun not intended but may as well include it ) would be a brief description of the fact that aircraft are tested extensively - at model stage - for lightning tracking, and dispersal measures.
As Smilin' Ed describes, it's not always a bore.
Same goes for carbon fibre aircraft - and yes I have personal experience, in a way, having been dragged a long way to photograph carbon fibre fighter wings after lightning strikes - the boffins were alarmed, and I'm still not convinced I fancy this material for airliners !!!
So if not 'news' in the case of this being a regular type stike - enough to ground ( that wasn't intended either ) the aircraft, worth at least a polite discussion; if you don't feel like it here, let it be shoved to 'Flight Testing' or similar.
