No kidding. Someone has something nasty in the brew.

If it's some neighborhood kids, they could've been watching the flight patterns. It's a commercial liner, after all. Regular schedules, consistent speeds, predictable rates of ascent/descent... It'd be a lot easier than guesstimating an un-scheduled military flight, at least. A few weeks of practice with a scope, beforehand? "It wasn't kids aiming it at the airplane today, 8500 feet is quite a distance to accurately hit with a light."

Very Intriguing! I really hope our military and national agencies are on this like white on rice. Such activity by the Russians, or anyone else with implements capable of totally disabling any authority assigned to protect the innocent needs to be exposed. M Cult members apparently obtained laser design information from Russian institutes they visited and built a laser weapon mounted on a truck. They had planned to use the laser against Tokyo policemen but the plan failed when the laser malfunctioned during the testing stage. Lt. Cmdr. Jack Daly hit by laser beam from a Russian ship off B.C. In the incident former U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Jack Daly and Canadian Coast Guard Capt. Pat Barnes were in a helicopter on a routine intelligence-gathering mission. Barnes was the pilot, Daly the observer as they photographed the Russian merchant ship Kapitan Man in the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
