Storm under the Eiffel Tower

During the same storm, lightning also lit up the sky around the Eiffel Tower. This natural spectacle was at once mesmerizing and emphasized the severity and potential dangers of the storm. Photographs shared on social media showed the duality of the situation – the beauty and power of nature – in all its nakedness.

Aviation Safety and Lightning Hazard

This incident also brought to the fore important information about how airplanes are protected against lightning strikes.
