That kind of electrical discharge is very real , and very frightening if it happens on a airplane flight.
When I was a tiny wee youngster my mother and my two brothers were on an Icelandic Air plane bound for Gander and then Idlewilde.
The plane had gotten about 15 minutes out and I looked out the window and part of the cowling had ripped free and the engine block had a visible crack.
the crew issued us lifejackets and were very expert survival savants.
The crew turned on landing lights and I could see whitecaps about 500 meters below.
The crew very skill fully brought the craft back to Reykavik.
Bacon and scrambled eggs never tasted better than that breakfast.
