Police: Green laser illuminates cockpit, injures pilots
MARTINSBURG (AP) – Police are looking for whoever shined a laser into the cockpit of a UPS plane flying over Western Pennsylvania, temporarily blinding the pilots.
Authorities say it happened Tuesday night above Blair County. State Police say two pilots on a Philadelphia-bound flight from Pittsburgh were hurt when a green laser illuminated the cockpit.
The pilots were treated for their injuries at a suburban Philadelphia hospital.
The FAA is investigating.
