Great infared video too. Canadian teens decided to shine a laser at a helicopter.

Video shows the results.

quote:

Shining lasers at aircraft is dangerous and illegal, yet people still do it all the time. "Shooters" who flash commercial jets and other aircraft are routinely arrested, but there's no way to get in handcuffs faster than by pointing your beam at a police chopper.

That is exactly what a not-so-bright Canadian man did in the city of City of Vaughan, Ontario. The copter he hit was Air2, a police chopper that was providing support for officers on the ground who were responding to an unrelated weapons call. When the operators got continually blasted with the light, they turned the camera on its source and found three men in a culdesac, one of whom was pointing what appeared to be a gun with a laser sight at the aircraft.

I bet he wished he'd have just waited by the truck after they "made contact".

I didn't watch with sound but it was pretty clear to me he threw the laser device

He knew why he was running and why he was in trouble.

you missed what I was talking about.

The laser device was on the air soft gun that was thrown. Another guy threw a small object with no heat signature and was not the guy that ran and was caught.
