Lasers @ Sea-Tac

Twelve different flight crews reported that someone was shining a laser into their cockpits as the aircraft were making their final approach Sunday evening at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

“an unauthorized laser illumination event”

I want to say this is not the first time we’ve heard about this…what the hell is up with SEA?!

It’s all that coffee they drink out there, scrambles their brains :laughing:

I’m sure it’s kids, they know not what they do.

At my old flight school there were a few reports of this.

Were there sharks with the “lasers”?

Second Sunday in a row…

When I was working at IWA as a CFII I got lased with a green laser 3 times over a year’s period. The first one happened and I got onto tower freq and advised them and I gave them the best location I could. I was off the next day, but the next day I came back and they said an FBI agent came to see me and handed me his card.
The second time, I got on PHX approach and they advised me to go to a seperate freq to tell them what’s going on. They tlod me I wasn’t the first case that night.
Thats not stuff to play around with. It makes us angry

Port of Seattle police have arrested a 24-year-old Burien man in connection with the recent pointings of a laser beam at planes approaching Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

The man, who was not identified, was taken into custody at 4 p.m. Friday, the Port said in a news release Saturday night. He was booked into the King County Jail, with bail set at $100,000, and held on suspicion of unlawful discharge of a laser, a felony.

24 Years Old…Nothing better to do at 24 years old? How about going out and trying to get some pu…nahhhh

LOL Agreed. Then again, sometimes that causes more problems. :laughing:

Either Or…He’d been in it for life…

i would rather he be in jail, since im sure he already has 4 or 5 kids by now. get him as far away from the kids as possible.

This has been happening about once a week.
