It's very common for planes to get hit by lightning. Big hunk of metal hurtling through the sky, building a slight electrostatic charge ...makes a lovely target. Planes even trigger lightning. Usually it's not news because nothing happens.

I will say this: alcohol is not a good conductor. Tends to blow up. Which, with Ted Kennedy, might explain something.
