Lasers pointed at planes is increasing, and, of course, Florida is the hot spot. They had a story about it on the news this morning and they did arrest a 17 year old who is now facing felony charges, but, they also said it's hard to catch the people and most get away with it.


Da fook is wrong with people? I don't know how someone could live with themselves if they actually caused a crash doing this and killed a bunch of people. Village idiots: "I've got a new laser, I'm going to point it at planes!"

The thing that scares me is that, highlighting it on the news, there are fools in this world that will see it and think to themselves, "Cool, I'm going to try that too!"

Yeah, I saw this story. Never heard of such a thing. Is this something stupid circulating on Tiktok or some gen Z part of the internet, or what?

i knew some idiot that was arrested for this 10+ years ago. They found him pretty quickly.
He did it for no reason other than to be stupid.

You need a decently powered laser to be able to do this which is probably strong enough to be seen at the origin too. Ain't gonna do that with the cheapo pointers but strong laser pointers are readily available on AliExpress for anyone to buy from China, which makes sense considering who made the thread.

We did this many times, never saw anyone get arrested for it but we likely were not using strong enough lasers.

People have been doing this for years. Further proof that not just M's memes but also all of his news is through boomer chain emails and FB groups.
The story was on CBS news on TV this morning, the related link I just grabbed off of Google. And, yes, people have been doing it for years, the point of the story was that there's been a surge in the activity lately.

Thank goodness Neo Geo Hell is so successful that Sylvie doesn't need to refresh this forum every 30 seconds to find some purpose in her "life" anymore. 😉

People are fools.

Reminds me of the those teens throwing rocks at cars from an overpass from a few years back.

Who knows? Maybe this is what terrorists do on slow nights when they spent all of their pipe bomb money on Blatz beer.

Ah, they should have used eggs because it makes a bigger mess of the windscreen and doesn’t wash off easily …

… Sorry I mean that was terrible.

Peeing off overpasses is fun. Now that I drive a convertible I'm leery driving under bridges, lol
