Are we exaggerating the problem?
Just an observation but last night just after 8.00 pm the laser light show started as usual in HKG harbour. A CASEVAC Super Puma had just dropped a case off at Wanchai and lifted to return to base.
He then flew through the middle of the laser light show. I quickly counted 19 lasers lighting up the sky.
He could have gone East and missed them all but it looks as though he considered the threat so low as to not make it worth while to add five minutes to the return flight.
Are we getting all primped up over this single hand held laser thing, when it is demonstrably possible to fly through 19 higher powered light show lasers?
