On Tuesday, lightning struck a Delta Air Lines plane in line for takeoff at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and it was all captured on amateur video. The lightning strikes the plane 18 seconds into the 36-second video.
Delta spokesman Morgan Durrant confirmed that lightning struck Las Vegas-bound Delta Flight 67 on Tuesday, as the Boeing 737-900R aircraft was in the takeoff queue in Atlanta. There were no reports of injuries among the 111 customers and six crew, Durrant said.
The plane took off nearly two hours late at 7:32 p.m. ET but landed only about 20 minutes later than scheduled, at 8:11 p.m. PT, according to FlightAware.com.
"As with any event involving aircraft, Delta is doing a thorough investigation of the circumstances around this flight as safety is always Delta's top priority," Durrant wrote in an email.
