Seahawks Team Plane Targeted By Laser On Landing

Aircraft Was On Final Approach To Sea-Tac Airport

The chartered airplane bringing a disappointed Seattle Seahawks team back from their playoff loss in Chicago Sunday was hit by a laser beam while on a two-mile final approach to Sea-Tac airport just after 2100 PST.

Authorities say the pilot of the chartered B767 reported the incident to the FAA after landing safely at Sea-Tac, according to several local news outlets including television stations KING and KOMO.

No suspect has been identified in the incident. Shining a laser into a cockpit is considered "interfering with a flight crew" and is a federal crime.
