A female passenger was struck by lightning after walking off a plane.
The
incident happened at Columbia Metropolitan Airport in South Carolina
when a U.S. Airways flight was forced to make an emergency landing there
due to bad weather.
The plane flew out of Hartford, Connecticut, and was destined for Charlotte, North Carolina.
The woman injured by the lightning strike was taken to Lexington Medical Center, where her condition was described as stable.
Speaking to The State, airport
spokeswoman Kaela Harmon described the incident as a 'freak accident,'
adding: 'It is truly the most random thing I have ever heard.'
MailOnline Travel has contacted American Airlines for more information about the incident and is awaiting a response.
