Wow. Be thankful for Faraday cages.
But remember, kids - electricity's just a theory, and should be approached with an open mind.

It looks like it's still touching. I'm assuming power is cut to the transmission line otherwise that'll be a bitch to move.

Last year on Top Gear, they let one of the presenters drive a new VW Golf into an electrical test rig at Siemens in Germany, and basically zapped the car with something like a squillion volts to simulate a lightning strike, and apart from making a few strange noises everything was fine, after the test finished the car started, everything worked and off he drove.

MI5 doesn't do evil. Just treachery, treason and armageddon.

A friend of mine driving a short distance in front of me in a 3 series BMW (1998 model IIRC) got struck by lighting in South Africa and the car was toast. Tyres popped just like that with the magnesium wheels cracked and burnt. All electronics toasted. The car cut out at 120km/h, driver was blind from the flash, wheels had burst. It's a miracle he managed to bring it to the side of the road. I just saw a spark and a flash and then the car slowed and stopped in the emergency lane. Every wire in the engine was burnt. The joins between the roof and the body were burnt like they'd been badly welded. The car was a write-off. To get at the wiring, they'd have to rebuild the whole car and that was before they'd replaced the roof.
That must be some tame lightning that VW has.

Hmmm... The driver seems to have exited the cab. Sounds pretty risky.
