JetBlue Pilot Suffers Eye Injury From Green Laser [View all]
A JetBlue pilot suffered an eye injury when a green laser was pointed directly into the cockpit as the plane was en route to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport.
The FAA says the incident took place Sunday when the green laser was shone through the windshield of JetBlue Flight 657 from Syracuse, hitting the first officer in the eye. The pilot immediately notified the control tower after the incident.
"JetBlue 657, that was about 5,000 feet, right?" the control tower asked.
"Yes sir, 5,000 feet. Two green flashes, and it caught the first officer in his eye," the pilot said.
