Delta Flight Returns After Lightning Strike

News summary

A Delta Air Lines flight from Boston to Rome was forced to return to Logan International Airport after being struck by lightning about an hour into the flight over the Atlantic Ocean. The Airbus A330 landed safely with no injuries reported among the 204 passengers and 12 crew members. Delta stated that the decision to turn back was made 'out of an abundance of caution,' and fire trucks were on standby upon landing.
