April 8, 2015
There were some scary moments Tuesday on a Denver-bound Icelandair flight.
"There was a loud bang and a pop — really loud — and a bright light," said passenger Nathen Maxwell, who was returning to Denver after a month-long European tour with his band, The Bunny Gang. "It was pretty scary."
Icelandair Flight 671 was struck by lightning soon after take-off from Reykjavik Tuesday afternoon.
