Yep, did he look at the time as soon as he got struck? getting struck at 13.14 wouldn't have the same appeal.

Might have been struck earlier, but by the time they looked at the time it was 13:13

Our aeroplane nearly got hit by lightening on Thursday. While we were in it. While we were 10,000 feet off the ground

That wouldn't matter would it?

The lightening needs to hit the ground to transfer all the electricity through doesn't it?

Nothing happens when it strikes a plane, at worst you'd have burn marks.

The radios go absolutely mental with a tonne of static electricity, the engine sensor unit went tits up (you don't need that though) and because you're in the middle of nasty clouds you get mega turbulence, icing on the airframe and you get to see the lightening flashes which is kinda cool/scary.
