WOW[size="-1"]! :eek:

Those people in that plane... I wonder if they felt that, like a loud BOOM or an electrical charge through the plane.  I googled a little bit and a guy at the Aero-Electric list said "[/size]I just have 2 words for that:  Faraday Cage".

I looked up Faraday Cage and it says:

A Faraday cage or Faraday shield is an enclosure formed by conducting material, or by a mesh of such material. Such an enclosure blocks out external static electrical fields. Faraday cages are named after physicist Michael Faraday, who built one in 1836 and explained its operation.
The electrical charges in the enclosing conductor repel each other and will therefore always reside on the outside surface of the cage. Any external static electrical field will cause the charges to rearrange so as to completely cancel the field's effects in the cage's interior. This effect is used for example to protect electronic equipment from lightning strikes and other electrostatic discharges.



So by that, the people inside the plane were safe, I hope[size="-1"]![/size][size="-1"]![/size][size="-1"]![/size] :nod:

Haha - ->"There's only three things I've ever been afraid of -- electricity, heights and women.  And I'm married too."      :nod: 



COOL VIDEO

:lol:

  Its weird how higher the voltage almost the safer it is.  Ive talked to alot of people that work around electricity and they all say the same thing.  They get bit on the lower voltage more then the higher voltage.
