Earlier, I had blogged how laser gun attacks on pilots, causing temporary blindness, had lead to a ban in South Wales, Australia.
In a recent incidence, a green laser was shone at a Boeing 747 (flying from Melbourne to Sydney) while the aircraft was preparing to land at Sydney Airport at 8:30am.
From Herald Sun –
“The Federal Government announced last month it would ban imports of
high-intensity laser pointers following a spate of laser attacks on
pilots. The ban will become effective on July 1.”
