Man Sentenced After Laser Pointed at Delta Air Lines Aircraft
After the incident involving James Link from Rochester, MN, the vision of one of the pilots was impacted for several hours. On Thursday last week, a federal judge in Wisconsin sentenced the man to two years in prison for an incident that took place in 2021. (aeroxplorer.com) المزيد...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
My right seater was hit at DAL. It glanced off the side-window but lit up that side of the cockpit with a flash. Almost like taking fire and a hit from close range but without the clank of impact. Extremely bright. It Affected him for a couple of hours. The company changed our schedule the next day as a precaution. Fortunately no apparent long-term issue. He was LUCKY. No arrest. Very Dangerous. We were on Left DW to 13L at 3,000 MSL. This happens far too often. Hang-em High! Make them pay.

Pilots need better protection from this kind of interference.
I guess this guy also gets kicks when bashing little puppies heads…..
I have a great, fair, equitable sentence for the jackwagon. He loves the laser SOOOO much, clamp his eyelids open and point it back at HIM! Heck, he can even hold the laser, as he has demonstrated a fondness for such things. Change my mind!
For those using ad blockers, the DOJ link has the whole story. https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdwi/pr/minnesota-man-sentenced-2-years-aiming-laser-aircraft#:~:text=%E2%80%93%20Timothy%20M.%20O'Shea,charge%20on%20January%2012%2C%202023.
While 2 years is a good start, he ha not learned a lesson from his past criminal activities and sadly, I doubt he will learn from this and he will keep on performing stupid acts such as this. Next time, he needs more time.
