Lightning struck a Delta Airlines aircraft that was queued up for takeoff at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport despite stormy conditions. And all of this was captured on amateur video. The video shows rain lashing the airfield just as a massive lightning struck the plane 18 seconds into the 36-second video.
