He wrote up the airplane and didn't know until the next flight when the FA's told him she was seated there. Lots of energy, that woman.
Static discharge.............Clouds need to be present in order to have lightning......Airframes that contain large amounts of composite materials Ex. (Airbus 320) accumulate static energy at a higher rate than all metal ones. Static discharges are normaly observed as a flash, followed by a loud bang!...Similar to a lightning strike.
