The Pakistan International Airline (PIA) airplanes are unsafe, even in the skies. A Sialkot-bound flight of the airline was hit by thunder, but fortunately, landed safely at Lahore airport.
Sources said PK396 flight was hit by lightening near Lahore an hour after taking off from Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport for Sialkot early Saturday. They said the thunder could not cause a significant damage; however, the plan’s internal electronic system was partially disturbed. With presence of mind and outstanding expertise, the pilot controlled the unexpected situation and landed the plane at Lahore airport, averting a massive tragedy, with all passengers remained safe in the incident

Dont really know what is the really big news about the pilot expertise.

But good job nonetheless. It could have easily been a tragedy had the aircraft lost it's major systems used for landing, and could have caused a crash if coupled with fog.
