Huh?

I'm greatly relieved to hear that there were no casualties in today's plane accident (not quite a crash) in Toronto. But one sentance from that article really sticks out:

At mid-afternoon Tuesday, a spokesperson with the Greater Toronto Airports Authority said lightning was causing technical problems with the airport's lightning-detection system. [emphasis mine]

Please tell me this system was installed by the cousin of a Liberal MP or something...
