>lightening isn't comparable to an EMP
Lightning is an electro-magnetic pulse, Anon.
>Why are Rs not hammering on this?
R versus D is part of the circus used to distract Anons, Anon. You would benefit from expanding your perspective. We face an enemy of humanity.
>if not for the vortex dissipators and clever engineering that help bleed off static in flight lightening would drop every plane
This fog is a thick as peanut butter!
vortex dissipator
A high-velocity stream of compressor bleed air blown from a nozzle into an area where vortices are likely to form. Vortex dissipators destroy the vortices that would otherwise suck debris from the ground into engines mounted in pods below the wings.

Wingtip vortex dissipator for aircraft
A means for attenuating the vortex created at aircraft wingtips which consists of a retractable planar surface transverse to the airstream and attached downstream of the wingtip which creates a positive pressure gradient just downstream from the wing. The positive pressure forces a break up of the rotational air flow of the vortex.

Vortex dissipators are to prevent foreign-object damage to engine intakes or aerodynamic devices that adjust airflow, Anon.
They are not lightning protection devices.
>Lightning strike nearby with modern electronics is a hell of a show
>Brilliant blue flash immediately followed by a massive concussive blast and wvwrything that was on not surge protected…blanked
The building primary ground in the CO was wired with locomotive cable as big around as your fist, Anon. You are correct and the effects are expensive in material and overtime labor.
>It's an electrical pulse.
>The only magnetism is that associated with moving charge.
What then of the simultaneous propagation of heat, light and radio waves at a minimum? Would that be an electro-magnetic effect, Anon? Is EM - i.e the known spectrum of non-mechanical radiative energy transfer mechanisms - part of the equation?
