For the second Sunday night in a row, a green laser light was aimed at an incoming airplane.
Sunday’s incident happened around 7:30pm, when a beam struck a Horizon Airlines flight coming in for a landing at Sea-Tac Airport. The green laser apparently origination north of Boeing Field.
The culprit could face some serious time, as the crime of pointing a laser at an airplane is considered a felony under the PATRIOT Act for interfering with aircraft pilots.
Plus, these things can temporarily blind pilots, and everyone knows that’s a bad idea.
Last Sunday, 13 different pilots reported laser incidents, and last month, someone pointed one at police aircraft near Fife.
Kids…come on – do you realize how serious a crime this is? Do the words “Patriot Act” or “Felony” mean anything to you?
If you have any information about this serious offense, please contact Port of Seattle Police immediately at 206-431-3490.
