Jet Turns Back After Laser Incident
航班遭激光扫射返航
A flight from London (UK) to New York had to turn back this weekend after someone pointed a laser at the plane. The Virgin Atlantic pilot felt unwell after the incident and decided to turn the plane around as a precautionary measure. The mischievous use of handheld lasers is becoming more common, and many pilots think these pointers should be listed as offensive weapons. The powerful beams can disorient pilots and affect their vision. It is illegal to shine a light at a plane, but it is not illegal to own a laser pointer. High-powered lasers are readily available over the Internet.
本周，因遭激光扫射，一架从英国伦敦飞往纽约航班返航。维珍航空公司飞行员事后感到不适，为安全起见返航。手持激光照射事件屡见不鲜，据多名行员所述，镭射笔应被视为攻击性武器。这种强力激光会让飞行员迷失方向，干扰视野。飞机照射为非法行为，但拥有镭射笔合理合法。高威力镭射笔可在网上随意购买。
