This is the terrifying moment lightning struck the wing of a Ryanair aircraft on Saturday shortly after taking off from Grenoble in France.

A video captured by a passenger on board the flight bound for Dublin showed the bolt hit the tip of the left wing.

Ryanair confirmed the incident, saying: “This flight from Grenoble to Dublin (17 Feb) encountered a lightning strike shortly after departure from Grenoble, before continuing its flight and landing normally at Dublin airport. Ryanair engineers inspected the aircraft and cleared it to return to service.”

This video captures the moment during the take-off of Ryanair FR1977 on Saturday 17th February, 2018 from Grenoble, France to Dublin, Ireland when a bolt of lightning struck the tip of the left wing during some very heavy turbulent weather. You can feel and hear the concerns of passengers before and after the incident. Most passengers may not have seen the lightning but the moment was amazingly captured on mobile phone camera.
