Pilot says his aircraft was "pounded by lightning" and is requesting to divert to either BWI or IAD, but I couldn't hear which they gave him. Believe it is UAL 593.

1910 It's a B-757 200 BWI to DEN. Looks like he was at about 15K when struck. Now down to 9700' and it looks like he's headed for IAD.
