#1 I can see the time when some brainless idiot will be charged with multiple homicide.

#2 "She said there were no reports of injuries. "

There is also no report of the 19 YO name or nationality. Dis-functional soccer hooligan perhaps???

#3 We've had these incidents in the past. Usually it is some clueless maroon who got a new toy and can't wait to show it off.

I'd wait to get more demographic data on the perp before going off.

#4 We had laser glasses at work when we were putting in ceilings with a laser level. Maybe pilots should start carrying a pair in the cockpit.

#5 The "local demographic" is what made me post this.

#6 No details on the altitude or distance of the plane when it was hit by the laser. From my limited experience with lasers, it seems like it would be difficult for a person to hit the pilot of a moving plane with a laser. Who has access to lasers with sufficient energy to hit the cockpit of a moving aircraft? Laser beams do tend to spread some over distance.

#7 $200 or so will buy one over the Net that will illuminate the cockpit and effectively blind a pilot during a landing approach.

#8 $200 or so will buy one over the Net that will illuminate the cockpit and effectively blind a pilot during a landing approach.

AND... $ 59.00 will buy you one of these at harbor freight, which can probably be reverse-engineered into a set of goggles sufficient to keep a pilot from getting blinded by a momentary pulse, and show you what you can use as a starting point to use as window protection, at which point hopefully the pilot can still use instruments.
