Nabbing our No. 3 spot is mother nature being both awesome and terrifying at the same time. Express reports a plane on its way to the United Kingdom from Amsterdam was hit by lightning three times, and it was all caught on camera. (Via YouTube / Brandy NewsHD)
Birmingham Mail reports the plane still landed safely and no one was injured. A passenger on board commended the pilot for remaining so calm during the violent storm.
When it comes to sports footage, getting the rights to air it can be a challenge. But WCJB sports anchor Zach Aldridge didn’t let that stop him from showing viewers the highlights.

Our No. 1 caught on camera moment is by far one of the coolest plane rides ever. Thanks to the Australian cast of “The Lion King” who gave an impromptu performance of “Circle of Life.” (Via YouTube / DisneyOnBroadway)
Hakuna Matata. It means “no worries.” And you could say that video got the lion’s share of views on YouTube — with 3.4 million. Talk about the flash mob of a lifetime. (Via YouTube / DisneyOnBroadway)
