Hollande's Plane Struck by Lightning

Newly inaugurated French President Francois Hollande celebrated by leaving Paris and getting on a plane for Berlin.

His plan was to meet Chancellor Angela Merkel and work on "compromises" that he feels are necessary for the progression of European life.

As the plane sought altitude it was struck by lightning, and forced to return.

Everyone is fine, they're prepping a new plane for Mr. Hollande, and he plans to still get to Berlin tonight.
