I knew it was just some moron having fun..

What they dont realise is some pilots have night vision goggle on that increases light by enormous amounts..

Stupid guy tries to blame it on his daughter

I am glad they caught that dumb motherfucker.

that is so stupid man

thats fucked up i live about 10 min away from teterboro airport i heard this on the news the last couple of days they weren't sure where they were commin from good to hear they caught the stupid asshole

and what scum bag blames that kind of shit on their daughter i mean come on now....

What a dumbass. Hope he enjoy's the slammer

Dumb ass even hit the investigators. He deserves any sort of punishment they dish out.

glad they caught him, but what about all the others? or was it the same guy doing it at airports all over the country?

that is what happens when you give a redneck a laser for christmas...Probably sent to him by al-queda to throw the feds off the trail...

what an idiot, they could have shot him thinking he was doing something else

lol, what a moron. people..

No im sure its people who read the initial story . They see the story then they go out back and see if you really could shine a laser at a plane..

what an ass pirate

About time. Jeez what some dumb fucks will do for entertainment.

bout fucking time.

How stupid do you have to be to do that?

dude was just having some fun

i used to do that in high school. point lasers on the wall behind the teacher

Almost as much fun as aiming laser pointers at The President during public appearances.

very dumb I cant believe the guy didnt think about what could happen.

There are wayyy too many dumbasses in this world.

um, lazer pointers are that fucking powerful? and what are the chances of actually aiming perfectly enough for it to reach the window of a cockpit, that is fucked up. i would have done it just for shits n' giggles, "hah, I'm waving a lazer pointer at an airplane!" - and then kick myself for being immature and not think of it again.

maybe that's what he did? :)

wonder how powerful the laser had to be...

It certainly wasn't one of those keyring kind.

That's probably how it happened. Still an idiotic move though.

well he'll have lots of time behind bars to think about how silly that was!

What a fucktard !!

I hate those laser pointers... they sell them at cd shops sometimes... like wtf for? So a 13 year old buying the latest cd can pick one up for 10$??? They are so annoying. When they first became popular you would see them being pointed everywhere at presentations, school, sports games, movies...etc...

he faces up to 25 years,,,wow

I don't think it was a regular pointer.

A read somewhere a few years ago that some people were making portable laser cannons (small ones - enough for 1 shot) , bringing them to soccer games and shooting at players. These laser cannons cause some nasty skin burns.

what a freakin moron

He didnt use a normal laser you can pick up at a store. He use a higher powered laser used in telco fiber optic testing.

The guy looks too old to be involved in a child play like that. Something a bunch of pot head teenagers that are looking for something "cool" would do.

It is bad enough the idiot doesn't something stupid and endangers people..but then when the authorities come knocking he tries to blame it on his kid? What kind of parent would do that to their kid? That is disgusting.

they are throwing the book at him too...making an example

I sometimes wonder about people, how they can be so fucking stupid.... beyond me .

well I would say an asswipe of a parent, he deosn't need any kids around him, what a stupid fuck

not too smart..
