The FBI is seeking help to identify the perpetrator behind a laser attack, which caused flash blindness and disrupted the vision of a Delta Air Lines pilot on Tuesday.
As the plane was approaching LaGuardia Airport to land just before 8 p.m., a green beam that came from Queens Boulevard in Elmhurst entered the cockpit twice, the FBI said.
The injured pilot continued to experience pain in his right eye for a while after the attacks.
“Laser incidents are often viewed as harmless. This couldn’t be further from the truth,” FBI Assistant Director in Charge George Venizelos said. “Our paramount concern is the safety of aircraft passengers, and we are asking anyone who knows anything to contact us.”

REALLY, no powers to be know anything about this.
We know every time Kanye and Kim take a shit, but this, NOTHING.
Very comforting.
Where's Chuck Schumer?
Good thing there are no Muslims in Queens, or I might suspect them. Probably Orthodox Jews or radical Catholics!
Maybe it is the only way that residents can fight back against the airlines and FAA that have destroyed their quality of life with air noise and pollution.
Plane after plane over your home 24/7 can make a person do illogical things.

I grew up 2 blocks from LaGuardia with constant jet warmup noise, helicopter flyovers etc. etc. It did not make me want to blind a pilot with a laser. Maybe it's just me.....
Too bad we can't punish all the assholes in Queens and leave the fucking birds alone!!!!
