CTC lightning strike.

[Capnmakka]

Anyone know any detail about the lightning strike that occured yesterday on one of the CTC Twinstars?
All I know is one got struck yesterday and it blew a hole in the nose and blew one of the wingtips off....

All i will say is it will be interesting to find out what these new age materials do we then encounter lightning.
