'Miracle' as plane hit by lightning splits into three

Split into three ... the wreckage of a Colombian passenger plane that crashed in the Caribbean resort island of San Andres

"A plane crash during a lightning storm in Colombia killed one person and injured another 120, with officials calling it a 'miracle' that more people did not die in the accident.

The Boeing 737-700 split into three pieces after being hit by lightning while landing on the Colombian resort island of San Andres in the Caribbean, leaving passengers 'literally scattered over the end of the runway', a police statement said.

A 73-year-old woman died of a heart attack in hospital shortly after the crash, according to a statement from aviation authorities, who said more than 120 people were hurt, five seriously."
God, how is that even possible? Well, let us just be thankful it is.
