There's a story on this over at FlightPod Television (Episode 003)

It was a fire at the gate.

Here is the TLH pic - http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...8093749000.jpg

Your joking, you cant tell that is the same plane, look at the top portion of the hole on your pic and compare it to the other, same plane same damage....there is no way a lightning strike would create that damage pattern. Have you ever suffered a LS in flight?, I have and ill tell you I have the skid marks to prove it...:D, one very Loud bang, resulting in one captain using some very colorful language( ok the FO said some colorful things too ;)), and a tiny pin prick scortch mark on the tip of the wing...thats it

This case - overhead panel fire.

As for lightning, stay away (at least 10...20 nm better) from those bumpy clouds, lest they reach out and touch you...
