Wow.
IF THIS IS TRUE it's rather terrifying.
I'd not heard of "dark lightning" (so I will do some digging
Not a threat to people on ground but possibly to planes that get close to thunderstorms.
Little gamma ray bursts. Any exposure to gamma radiation is very bad.

Damn... Just another reason not to fly...
Ass of the seat pitch issues weren't enough for me... 😊
@InvaderGzim lol. I haven't needed to fly since my last flight March 8th 2020 where I was one of 3 passengers masked (n95)
When tracing of cases first started they'd tell us where infected ppl were, and covid was in the airport the evening before I left lol
Bur not many were paying attention back then.

Chuckling... Last night... I told someone that I stopped going to the office on Feb 1, 2020.
They looked at me and said, Before the pandemic started?
I looked back and said, you mean before you or the media considered out one?? It started well before that date...
Sigh...
@InvaderGzim hahahaha! Yes it did start well before lol.
I was lucky, did not have to get used to working from home because I've been working from home for 20 years. So, well before covid lol
