Liner LanHc"DENN!S the menace" After Bolt Rips Nose NEW YORK H'PIi-A jetliner struck by lightning as it rose (rom I-ondon landed safely here Friday A clergyman aboard disclosed that the bolt (rom the sky had elicited prayer. The Trans World Airlines Boe "K 707 went back to London air port, was repaired qiiicklv, and proceeded to New York, but some of the passengers remembered vividly the "flash of light," and the "sound like thunder." The Rev. Roy L. Newton, 32, pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Fountain Inn, S. C, kept a brief log of events after the lightning tore a 21-by-B-inch hole in the plane's nose. "I was watching the landscape wncn i was blinded by a (ire brand and deafened by a clap of sound like thunder," he said. "I thought the engine had gone and prayed for everyone on board." "For about five minutes none o us knew what happened," New ton' said. "Then we were notified over the public address system that a little static electricity had struck the nose cone and that we were going to return to London." The pilot, Capt. Robert Buck of Westfield, N. J., brought the plane down safely at London after cir cling for 35 minutes over western England jettisoning 10,000 gallons of fuel. Among the 110 passengers aboard when the lightning hit were actor Warren Beatty, Met-l'o-Goldwyn-Mayer President Rob I ert O'Brien, and another MGM executive, Maurice Silverstein. These three chose to return to New York aboard another plane, but apparently were not ruffled by the incident.
