BREAKING Laser pointed at ABC13's SkyEye while flying above southeast Houston | Why lasers are dangerous for pilots
ABC13 is the only Houston television station with dedicated helicopter reporters. But this week, their safety was put at risk.ABC13's SkyEye helicopter crew's safety was put at risk on Thursday morning when someone pointed a laser at them.
"Hey, so we've got somebody lasering us," SkyEye reporter Tammy Rose said as she reported on Thursday.Tammy had just finished reporting around 6:07 a.m. when she spotted the laser. "Leeland and Sidney. It's illegal to laser a helicopter. We're calling police," Tammy reported back to the station. Lasers like the one that was used can bring down helicopters and airplanes because they can disorient and temporarily blind the pilot."Our basic message is to just lose the laser," FAA spokesperson Ian Gregor said. "There's nothing funny, nothing humorous, about shining a laser at an aircraft. It's very, very dangerous."
