See that, I learned something. I was teasing, I thought you left the "r" out.
The last I saw on the news is that the critical person was a passenger in one of the cars. He sustained head injuries. Severe head injuries is not good. The driver had a broken nose and needed stitches. They were both knocked out, and the driver didn't know about his friend, or what happened, until this afternoon. It's still amazing that only one person was critical, after seeing the initial pictures.
There was no lasing or terrorists involved here. If I were a betting person, I'd bet they'll be doing some design revisions to that type of plane. That's the best conspiracy thing I can muster today. Somedays, I can get so creative--not today.
Well, lasers generally are polarised and monochromatic, and there may be ways to make cabin glass filter such things out or lessen the effect of them.
In all likelyhood, it's due to some minor thing that will seem laughingly obvious later on.
But since the laser dazzling incidents have been happening there, it's safe to keep that in mind until the pilots give a good interview with the investigators.
Right now I figure they're shaken up, hurt, and medicated for pain which would make interviewing kinda difficult.
I'm guessing, obviously, but it's probably a good guess.
If lasing happened, the pilots would be able to say.
If it was mechanical, they'll probably say something seemed wrong or some instruments read wrong or low.
But it is a relief to see that no-one has died yet.
(And prayers for the critical one.)
I know you were teasing.
I couldn't come up with something funny in return.
