There has been some discussion about airliners flying through storms...

And there has always been questions and concerns about how "delicate" airliners are. Just what can they take???

Here are some photos of a Boeing 737 that flew through a large hail storm, and not only survived, but landed safely and without inccident.

I would say that they are tough birds. I highly doubt that your automobile could stand such a beating!

By the way ROYD... I noticed that this was an Easyjet... you weren't flying it by any chance were you???
