A veteran P-E-I pilot says he doesn’t think everyone is aware of the gravity of shining a laser at a plane.
John Brewer of Cavendish, who has been flying planes for 50 years and holds a commercial pilot’s license, says if people don’t stop doing it, there will likely be a major accident.
His warning comes as Island police announced they were investigating a second incident of a laser being pointed into a plane’s cockpit in as many days.
Brewer says some of the culprits may be young people who don’t understand the consequences, but he suggests that arresting someone and making an example of them will put an end to it.
