Sri Lankan Airlines Emergency

A SriLankan Airlines flight experienced an emergency landing due to a severe lightning strike. The incident involved Flight UL606 in Colombo.

Wow, getting struck by lightning mid-flight is the most excitement SriLankan Airlines passengers have had since in-flight entertainment became "count how many rice packets you get." At least now they can tell their grandkids they survived something more dramatic than the airline's usual turbulence of mild inconvenience.
