There's a dangerous trend growing nationwide impacting pilots and potentially passengers.
More and more pilots are reporting laser strikes to the Federal Aviation Administration than ever before . A laser strike happens when people on the ground point lasers up at airplanes in the sky."It isn’t restricted to one geographic area," said Rob Lowe from the FAA. "It’s happening all over the national airspace system throughout the United States."
"When [the laser] comes through the cockpit window, and hits the upper panel, the glare will light up the whole cockpit," said Kenneth Wells. Earlier this month, FOX 26 reporter Matthew Seedorff was on a flight out of Houston Hobby that experienced a possible laser strike. Roughly 20 minutes after takeoff, there was a green beam of light noticeable outside, shooting up from the ground. Cellphone video shows the incident.
