Is this some sort of coordinated attack of sorts with these lasers?
"Imagine a bright green light shining in your eyes while you’re trying to fly a 75-ton jet with hundreds of passengers.

More commercial pilots in the air are being placed at risk from more laser beams aimed from the ground.

On Wednesday night, more than 20 aircraft across the country were struck by laser beams, including three planes in the Dallas area, according to local and federal authorities. Three more were hit Thursday night.

“Anytime you have multiple strikes, it’s unusual,” Lynn Lunsford, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration, said about Dallas’ three incidents Wednesday. “Hardly a week goes by in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that we don’t get one or two.”

In July, an Alvarado man was arrested after allegedly shining a laser pointer, which is about the size of a ballpoint pen, into the cockpits of at least eight planes as well as the helicopters sent to look for him."

Well it is a bit less than 50% but here is the link.

Hope this one is o.k.

Just a heads up for GLP'ers planning on flying.

My guess is that it's a warning.

Someone may be sending the message, "See all those planes hit with laser pointers all at the same time? Those could have be shoulder fired rockets."

This happened in San Diego a few weeks ago, it has to be a coordinated. Weird no one's mentioning it much in the media.

I have been thinking this for a while. It was in the news not so long ago over here that the number of incidents are getting more. They say most of the time it's kids. I will see if I can link to the article once I get back home.

EDIT:

Found the link....

 Quoting: aHEMagain^2

Could be a warning, but it's also an attack. Trying to blind pilots with laser is an effective technique to disrupt plane traffic.

Low-power lasers pose no real danger. They are a warning and may result in temporary dazzling of the pilot. If this happens during the final stages of the landing, it could cause trouble.

High powered lasers are a real threat and civilians have legal access to such lasers. With a laser like this, you don't have to hit the pilot(s) in the eye to cause blindness. With sufficient power you only have to hit the windscreen and even the reflections in the cockpit can cause blindness. No wonder there are rumors that pilots have been told to wear an eyepatch over one of their eyes upon take-off and landing approach.

I gotta call BS. THIS SEEMS ABOUT AS LIKELY AS DRONES BEING SPOTTED REGULARLY FROM AIRPLANES - and these spottings seem to have suddenly diminished.

I'm sure the laser spottings will diminish too. Of course if you own a green Wicked Laser and they want to make an example of YOU don't be surprised if SWAT busts your door down some night.

Re: Is this some sort of coordinated attack of sorts with these lasers?
retards do not coordinate

It is more like how several people get sick around the same time - the bug is not coordinating anything - that is just how these things spread. One retard shines a laser at a plane and retards all over the country see that and copy it.

So if there is any coordination going on it is not at the retard level. It is the MSM reporting it that is coordinating it.

It's a total joke, if someone is able to point a laser into the cockpit and then into your eye from the ground, first they must x-ray vision and second, just move your head. Can't post it, but watch the Egytian protests from a few year ago in that main square, thousands of laser pointers all fixed on the helicopters above and guess what, no crash. (It looked pretty cool too)

planes are flown by computers , these helicopter guys are probably cop school types and just have to feel threatened by something, so they say they are "blinded" to exaggerate and then waste more cop resources and legal retardation over a laser pointer thingy.

Re: Is this some sort of coordinated attack of sorts with these lasers?
Look guy, this crap is total whores hit - really, use your god given intelligence OTAY?! You REALLY THINK some person on the ground with a cheap socalled laser lite can possibly shine it into a cockpit of a jet that's way way above him (on ground)?!

Beyond fanciful - completely manufactured and controlled chaos; just like all the socalled sniper shootings AND ETC; NO ONE BUT THE POWERS THAT BE (whoever/whatever they is) can do these things; WVERYTHING IS WATCHED AND RECORDED

even in Walmart; there are towers everywhere, cameras everywhere, surveillance drones everywhere - THAT is how the shadow govt can both do these dastardly things (to terrorize a docile populace) and stop ANY citizen from fighting back.... Divide and Rule is the Rule
