Qantas aircraft attacked by laser…….again

Thursday, 11 Sep, 2007 0

An AAP report this morning says that Queensland Police are investigating a laser attack on a plane in Brisbane.

The Qantas plane, from Canberra, had a laser shone into its cockpit around 7 o’clock as it was landing.

Police say searching for the culprit is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The offence, which can distract pilots and permanently damage their eyesight, attracts a two-year jail sentence and a fine of $5,500.
