An amazing catch but I don't agree. The metallic body forms a Faraday Cage
so the lightning bolt would pass around (not through) the exterior of the
body & then to earth. The passengers would be quite safe.

Comments from the poster, Brian Bledsoe"Delta flight landing in Atlanta
this afternoon...The lightning passed through the metal exterior and exited
from the right landing gear (clearly visible). No one injured...new pants
likely required for most of the passengers "
