Lightning strike on BA jet strands passengers in Nassau
British Airways passengers on their way to Cayman were stranded in the Bahamas when lightning hit their jet as it approached Nassau on Friday, 10 Oct.
Paul Deegan, who was on the flight, said passengers, some with young children, were stuck in the airport for hours before they were told they would have to be booked into a hotel.
The BA flight from London was about 15 minutes from Nassau and had descended to about 6,000 feet when there was a flash and a loud bang. For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
