Surely you cant be serious?
Did they come in on instruments?
Did they nearly hit the oil tanks at Daquiri?
Did they pour every light they had on the Runway?
Did the Captain have fish for dinner?
Were there Gladiator movies on the IFE
Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up sniffing glue

And now we return you to.....
Getting back to the original topic of a lightning strike on takeoff if this had been an A-310 there is a strong possibility that the wing would have been blown off.

If you fly into turbulence with a Trent 772 on your wing there is a possibility of burnt rubber smell due to the large fan touching the kevlar lining.
I actually wrote that useless rag and gave them my uncensored opinion about their useless journo.... never did answer me

Reference my previous post and that of Rolling stone, the burning (rubber) smell was entirely due to the galley chiller unit and absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH A LIGHTNING STRIKE or anything else.

Galley Fridge explodes at 58,000 feet!
"I thought we were all going to die!" exclaimed one startled passenger from the ill fated flight "Either that or my next beer would be hot...same thing really"
"Everything was going alng nicely on our Boeing A390 Trident when suddenly, there was an explosion & shards of ice blew from the fridge! Next thing, the Captain is sitting next to me & asked if I'd ever seen a grown man naked!" said Timmy Wilson, who didn't want to be identified.

I think everyone's overlooking the one immutable fact in all of this: the lady involved was once (11 years ago from memory) the mayor of the well-known and very significant burg of Shaftsbury. Surely this is enough for all you Doubting Thomas' to accept, as the journo involved did, that this lady is not to be treated as some sort of joke but rather as a source of information of the utmost reliability, as are all present & past pollies.
