A Russian Soyuz-2.1b rocket carrying a Glonass navigation satellite was struck by lightning during launch on May 27, 2019.

Despite the frightening occurrence, the spacecraft was functioning normally and was continuing its trek to low-Earth orbit, where it successfully delivered a navigation satellite.

Have you ever experienced a close call with lightning strike?
