The Echo reports here that:
YOBS shone lasers into pilots? faces as they guided the first easyJet plane into Southend Airport.
Police have revealed they are investigating an attempt to dazzle the plane?s captain and first officer, as they prepared to land.
The aircraft was targeted on Sunday night, ahead of Monday?s maiden flight to Belfast.
Sadly, this isn’t a new problem. In fact we wrote about in 2010, and showed this video:
“It can have really dangerous consequences for the aircraft”
