In Poland, a passenger plane that had just taken off from Warsaw and was heading to the Dominican Republic was hit by one lightning bolt.
This is reported by “New Poland” in the telegram channel.
It is noted that the incident occurred on January 20, when the plane flew over the city of Kutno, located near the capital. The aircraft had to return to the airport. The plane was not seriously damaged. As a result of the incident, the pilot landed the plane at the nearest airport. Passengers will travel to the Dominican Republic on another flight.
On Thursday, January 20, the weather worsened in Poland — there were strong gusts of wind with rain, snow and thunderstorms.
Recall that a similar case recently occurred at the airport of the Russian city of Sochi. On January 18, a passenger plane of Ural Airlines was struck by lightning during landing, as a result of which the aircraft was suspended from flights to check its technical condition.
