Commercial airliners are struck by lightning about once or twice a year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said.

"They are designed and constructed to have conductive paths through the aircraft to receive lightning strikes and channel currents," according to the agency.

Lightning strikes haven't caused a commercial airliner to crash in decades, but smaller, private planes, which "are not required to be designed to protect against lightning," have crashed due to this phenomenon, according to NOAA. .

In another video posted by percussionist Demian Arriaga, lightning can be seen from the windows of the aircraft.

The reactions of the terrified occupants are also heard.

It is not yet clear what type of plane Cyrus and his crew were traveling on.

Fans of the artists were glad that the singer was safe.
