During a hurricane in Moscow, lightning struck a plane with passengers on board

The S7 plane flying from Moscow to Novosibirsk was struck by lightning

Lightning struck the plane of the Russian airline S7, flying from Moscow to Novosibirsk. This is what the Telegram channel Mash writes about.

Traces of a lightning strike were found on the post-flight inspection of the Airbus A321. Presumably, the discharge hit the aircraft when it was gaining altitude during a hurricane in Moscow. “Fortunately, none of the passengers on board were injured. The flight successfully reached Novosibirsk,” the message says.

After the incident, the airliner was suspended from flights, as it will have to be repaired.

Earlier, the pilots of the aircraft of the Russian airline Yakutia noticed an unusual object in the sky. The captain of the Boeing 737 flying to Moscow reported that he observed a red balloon in the shape of a horse at an altitude of 518 meters.
