The lightning strike, which also injured an air traffic controller, is prompting the Federal Aviation Administration to examine hundreds of air traffic control towers nationwide, the agency told The Associated Press. Officials will be looking for problems with the systems that protect the towers from lightning strikes. (AP Photo/The Capital, Paul W. Gillespie)
