Lightning Blasts Hole Through Planes Nosecone

An inbound flight from Iceland to Denver was struck by lightning shortly after takeoff on Tuesday.

No one was injured from the jolt, however a gaping hole was blasted through the nosecone of the Boeing 757 jet.

The flight continued on its 3,740-mile journey to Denver International Airport without incident.

The FAA estimates lightning hits every airliner in service at least once a year.
