Do airplanes ever slide off runways when it rains? What about flying during a lighting storm?
newmommy3 asked:
I just flew this past weekend in strong rain storms and violent lighting. The worst turbulence I have ever experienced. When we landed it was a safe and comfortable landing, but I was surprised the runway wasn’t slippery because of all the rain. Anyone know why/how airports make landing in the rain safe? Also, we saw lighting all around us while in the air? What happens if an airplane is struck by lighting?
