I would call this laser shining incident “youthful high spirits”.
The aircraft landed safely, no damage, no loss of life.
Sure at 19 he should know better.
But I bet we all did stupid stuff at 19 we regretted later.
Do you really think he set off that day thinking “I’ll try and crash an aircraft” I really doubt it.
All the pensioners and eco Nazis would have him chemically lobotomised for this, but he’s probably paying their pensions through taxation; so biting the hand that feeds is not such a good strategy.
Anyway rant over !
