Is this some sort of coordinated attack of sorts with these lasers?

Can someone on the ground really endanger an aircraft using a laser pointer?

This article has pics allegedly showing what a laser pointer looks like to a pilot. ?

maybe that's why qantas are handing out eye patches to the flight crew?

You can buy those lazers for 5 Euros on every corner in Rome from the hard-working Indian chaps.

Just kids or bored adolescents who just don't get how dangerous it is.
 Quoting: 2012Portal


can you bust out the science and prove this danger ?

if it was so dangerous why is the helicopter not retreating to safety where he wont go blind ? the answer is because he wont and they are just dicks ruining peoples lives over toys

Re: Is this some sort of coordinated attack of sorts with these lasers?
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."

 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.

Laser pointer is one dollar at the dollar tree. Chemtards are getting tired of the poisoning. Not smart

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.

this felonious laser pointing is so exaggerated. please.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 67643504


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)

This ^^

making it anything more than people messing around is layghable imo, they pose no threat in reality.

Maybe for a spitfire or a wild cat...a low dc 10 maybe.
Just guessing.
 Quoting: Pooch

affect ? pffffffffffffffffffft holy bonghits affect jeeeeeeeeberz !!!!!!!!!!!
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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 67643504


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

Quite an extreme amount of shilling going on with this topic.

yup, from the ground, through the plane's floor, into the cockpit into the pilots eye and sustain it at 600 mph enough to cause the pilot to be blinded, somehow shut off the computer controlled auto pilot, still be blinded, and manually crash the airplane into the ground.

Just want to say you may well have a point there. Guess I am hoping it is that and that it will die out.

Well that is a real mix of people and I cant help but notice how many are adults. I would have expected to see way more really young kids. I wonder what would make someone old enough to know better do something so stupid, mental illness I guess.
