I think planes are designed so that internal equipment isn't damaged during lightning strikes, afterall, I imagine it is not that unusual. Though planes tend to avoid flying through thunderstorms due to the severe turbulence, large hail and wind shear associated with them- which can make it hazardous for landing/taking off in particular wrt to wind shear - more so than being struck by lightning. Probably shook up the passangers and crew alike though!

Geat footage though!

Aircraft are put through tests to see how to protect them more against lightning strikes ........

Indeed. There was a crash in 1985 attributed to microburst induced windshear.
