Pilot blinded by 'laser device'

[sock]

stupid guy. if that was about a few metres off the ground could of caused some serious injuries/deaths if the co-pilot didn't have enough time to react.

Happens all the time, seriously.

People think its funny to shine lights into flight decks, so much so that some ATIS's have to have warnings specificialy regarding unauthorised lazers operating in the area.

I'm amazed no-one saw him and punched him while he was doing it :S Loads of people get annoyed by those devices, and on a plane where it's very serious people will get angry. He deserves more than 6 months. 6 for the police helecopter and more than 6 for the plane, endangering loads of lives.

Ruddy good shot, getting it through the window let alone into the pilots eyes whilst it was moving. Unless by blinded it meant it just shone off the glass obscuring his view.

Well done to the copilot though.

lol at cleveland, ohio, usa. I didn't know there was a cleveland in the usa until the final Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode.

Any younger and I'd have found it hard to sleep

Very stupid thing to do tbh. But to do it twice on same night... god what an idiot...
