And you think it would be a good idea to shine a laser into a cockpit?
It will not cause physical damage itself, but it could cause a crash in the right circumstances.

Of course not... And it was stupid.
However laser exposures are measured in watt seconds. With a visible laser the eye will blink to protect it’s self, plus the vehicle is moving. It would be much more dangerous with an infrared laser, and they come in really dangerous power levels.
