It was an awesome example of nature’s power on a stormy night in London. As this flight came into Heathrow, a jagged bolt of lightning smashed into the roof, right above the pilots’ heads. The powerful jolt of electricity passed right through the body of the Airbus A380 before shooting out to continue its journey to the ground. Highly charged: The Emirates Airbus 380 being hit by lightning Amazingly, the Emirates service from Dubai landed safely minutes later, with not even a scratch and its 500 passengers and crew unscathed. This incredible image was captured on a Saturday night last month by photographer Chris Dawson in south-west London.‘I saw the storm clouds gathering and I thought the conditions would be perfect for a lightning strike,’ he said. Plane sailing: The Airbus on a routine take-off. Planes get hit several times a year - they act as a conductor David Learmount, operations and safety editor of website Flightglobal, is not surprised the Airbus A380, the world’s biggest commercial plane, escaped damage. ‘Planes get hit by lightning several times a year,’ he said. ‘They act as a conductor.

大自然中神奇的畫面數不勝數，而且“閃電”當主角的畫面也絕對不佔少數。這不，這一回一道閃電與飛機登上了“大自然神奇畫報”的頭版。據悉，一架空客A380正準備在倫敦希斯羅國際機場降落時，一道巨大的閃電突然撕裂天空，“直擊”駕駛員的頭部。有人拍攝到，這道強烈的閃電直接穿過這架空客A380客機的“頭部”，之後繼續“俯衝”地面。不可思議的是，數分鐘後，這架從迪拜出發的阿聯酋航空班機竟然平安的降落在了機場上，整個機身甚至“毫髮無傷”，500名乘客和機組人員也安然無恙。 這一發生在週六晚上的驚險一幕正好被攝影師克里斯·道森(Chris Dawson)攝入鏡頭。他說：“我看到暴風雨聚集在一起，多年的經驗告訴我，馬上就會有閃電出現。這一年來，全球的飛機被閃電擊中的機率很大，這並不奇怪。但是這一次閃電直接與機身頭部親吻的畫面實屬難得，但是不會發生什麼事故。”
