Lightning is seldom the cause of an aircraft failure. In any large release of energy the flash preceeds the bang. Speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound.

I have a co-worker who works out of her home in Versailles. Her husband flies a lot. I don't think he would have been on that one!

In any large release of energy the flash preceeds the bang. Speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound. In this case, the noise of the aircraft crashing was followed by ignition of the fuel and subsequent flash of light. Two separate events. Perfectly reasonable.
