And a funny fact about the incident, The person who died was a 60 years old lady, she had a hart attack in the ambulance.
I used to work in the aerospace industry and lightning strikes though disliked were not greatly feared. There is definitely something else wrong with this plane. A full investigation has to be done.
From the photos it looks like the plane suffered multiple stress fractures that were building up over the years. Boeing 737's could be very old, the design has been around for over 40 years.
