Laser Aimed at Plane Near Centennial | Denver News

A Colorado State Patrol plane nearly crashed last week when a laser was shone directly into its cockpit near Centennial Airport — forcing an emergency landing. Troopers traced the beam to an apartment complex, confronted the suspects, and confiscated the device. This isn’t just reckless behavior — it’s a federal felony that can blind pilots and endanger lives. It’s not the first time this has happened in the area, either. A little light show could have catastrophic consequences — hopefully, this warning will make others think twice. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
