Laser strike blinds Malaysia Airlines pilot, forces circling before Kolkata landing
A Malaysia Airlines flight was delayed in its approach to Kolkata airport after a laser beam temporarily blinded the pilot. The disorientation caused the crew to miss their landing window, forcing the aircraft to circle before touching down safely later that night. Airport authorities have since filed a police complaint to investigate the source of the laser. Directing laser beams at aircraft near airports is prohibited due to the serious safety hazards it poses to flight crews and passengers.
