Here is the TLH pic - http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...8093749000.jpg
Your picture looks like it was taken after they cut some metal away for repair or investigation. Same airplane.

A lightning strike could not do that kind of damage to a metal airplane...if it did, it would have killed the CA and probably killed or disabled the FO too. That hole would be the equivalent a 100mm+ artillery round hitting an armored vehicle. The only picture available would that of a smoking hole in a cornfield.
