Vagabond:
NASA and the NOAA report the lightning emanated from the Greek God of lightning and weather, Charlie Sheen. He claims to have cured the weather with his mind.
Seriously, it must have been a slow news day. Airliners get hit by lightning a lot. I remember flying a 727 that had 19 write-ups in the log for lightning burn-marks. (One strike that 'jumped' and made 19 burns). Didn't even pull it from service. Maintenance checked everything out (everything else was fine), and wrote-up that there were burn marks on the paint.
