A man who aimed a green laser pointer at a Delta Air Lines flight on approach to Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) has been sentenced to 18 months in prison. During the March 2024 incident, Joseph L. Crapsi, 31, of Cheektowaga, repeatedly aimed the laser at the aircraft during the critical phase of flight.
According to one of the pilots, the attack lasted between 60 and 90 seconds, adding that he felt “something horrible would happen.” Laser attacks are a serious threat that can temporarily blind pilots and, in severe cases, cause permanent damage, as well as endanger the safety of an aircraft and its occupants.
Powerful green lasers do not come with a common newspaper subscription and their shipping boxes are covered in warning labels.
This was a deliberate choice to do wrong.
I can’t help but feel you’re being deliberately obtuse & judgemental, so I’m done with this circular argument (and yes, I’m aware you’re not the person I was speaking to, but you’re repeating the same assumptions). It seems to me you have some maturing of your own still left to do.
Out of arguments, I see. So let’s discredited the other person’s accountability *slowclap
“Out of arguments?” Against the same “arguments” I’ve already shot down? Alright, ya got me - I couldn’t come up with different arguments against someone’s repeat of the same arguments I already beat down.
