'It was scary': Easyjet plane forced to divert after being struck by lightning

'I knew something had gone wrong', said a Glasgow passenger

A Glasgow man has praised Easyjet pilots for keeping calm after the plane he was travelling in was struck by lightning.

It is understood the plane was struck by lightning, and Mr Ritchie described hearing a loud bang before the lights in the plane went out.“There was a real bang and all the lights, like the seatbelt signs, went off. “They said the engineers needed to come and take a look at the plane before they could do anything with it.

An Easyjet spokesperson said: “We can confirm that flight EJU3834 from Edinburgh to Milan on June 30 diverted to Turin following a lightning strike, as a precaution and in line with procedures.
