please keep in mind however that the duration of the induced current is in the 
nano seconds


>>Most lightning strikes that we hear about are a small splinters of 
the main bolt and hit with significantly less power, in the 1000's of amps or 
less, not 100s of thousands of amps.  Even then, 1000 amps going through your 
airframe is not going to be pleasant or inconsequential.  Then there is the 
issue of induced currents in your airplane's wiring from a lightning bolt 
passing near the airplane.<<
