Laser Targeting U.S Commercial Aircraft
There seems to be no end to the stupid things that people can do. The latest incidents of U.S commercial aircraft being targeted by green and red lasers is a good example of how unintelligent some pranksters might be.
This is a particularly brainless prank because of the inherent danger involved. When a laser beam intersects with the eye, a condition known as laser induced flash blindness can occur. This holds true especially for people accustomed to low light levels, like a pilot.
The first image shown here is a look at a human eye that has suffered a hemorrhage due to laser-induced flash-blindness. To see what damage a laser beam can cause a CD case, check out the video above.
