Amritsar: Passengers on board an Amritsar-Delhi Alliance Air flight had a close shave on Friday after the plane was struck by lightning minutes after take-off from Amritsar.
Vikram, who was on board the flight told TOI, "There was turbulence due to bad weather when we took off, but after about 10 minutes I heard a loud thud on the left side of the plane, followed by a flash of light and sparks, triggering panic.” Then water started dripping into the cabin, as the 55 flyers watched in horror, he added. While the crew told passengers it could be an airconditioner vent fault, the pilot soon announced that the plane had been hit by lightning and he would have to make an emergency landing at Amritsar, the flyer said.
