This attempt to blind the pilot reminds me of Lt. Cmdr. Jack Daly (Ret.) who was struck in the eyes in 1997 by a Russian laser likely from the Russian ship "Kapitan Man".
To this day he suffers pain and severely limited vision.
To this day he is still seeking recognition from the US military that this event happened.
The area from which the laser was tracked is not exactly the "crown jewel" of NE Ohio. It is scary how little is necessary to hurt the innocent
A similar incident was reported on 9/28. Is this old news?

If the author of this writing is suggesting that a construction line level laser can be dangerous at 8500 feet, I have a bridge that he might want to buy!
Similar story on front page of Colorado Springs' Gazette newspaper re: two aircraft landing at the Colorado Springs airport Tuesday reported the same thing - "laser-like" beams aimed at the cockpits.
That is some kinda fancy radar that can detect a laser beam . . .
There was a thread on this topic earlier today and it had the same photo you posted. Strange ...
So is the "group think" here implying that mooselimbs jumped from boxcutters to laser guided weapons?
Oy vey!
