Laser lunatics

POLICE investigation is under way after lasers with the power to blind were deliberately shone into the cockpit of three passenger jets seconds before they landed at Jersey Airport.
The commercial aircraft were all on their final approach when the powerful green lasers, which can cause temporary blindness and permanent damage to eyesight, were fired towards the pilots.
All three aircraft – each carrying up to 100 passengers – landed safely following the attacks, which have all happened during the last week. (from JEP)
