British Airways Airbus A320 Diverts To London Gatwick Airport After Being Struck By Lightning

Passengers onboard a Sunday British Airways flight from Stuttgart to London Heathrow were unexpectedly diverted to London Gatwick after the Airbus A320 transporting them was struck by lightning. While it is common for an aircraft to be struck by lightning once or twice a year, the crew always takes the utmost precaution when it happens and looks to land the aircraft quickly for the safety of passengers and crew.
