Police investigate laser incidents
20.09.08
Two pilots landing at Edinburgh Airport had a laser shone in their faces. Captains of two flights – for BA and easyJet – were momentarily blinded within minutes of each other as they made their final approach to the airport earlier this month, the Scotsman reports. The incident happened on Sunday September 7 and came less than 3 months after another easyJet pilot was blinded for several seconds during his descent into Edinburgh.
Police are appealing for information on the incident and have concentrated inquiries on Livingston, believing the source of the beam was in West Lothian. A spokesman told the newspaper: ‘The beam was erratic, but it seemed to be deliberately shone at the aircraft. Inquiries have been made in the Livingston area.’
