Phantom drone with copper lightning conductor is struck by lightning

On 28th March UA-camr Tom Scott visited the High Voltage Laboratory to work with scientists (Dr Viddy & Dr Rich) to test what would happen if you stuck a drone with a bolt of lightning. This video shows the second drone, which had had copper tape wound around it to act as a lightning rod, being struck. The results are quite surprising.
