The airline Virgin Atlantic is working with the British authorities to discover the author of "Laser attack", which may be sentenced to prison.

The pilot of the Airbus A340 got injuries and had to be hospitalized as soon as he landed the aircraft on Sunday.
"It is absolutely necessary that the government begin consideration of the laser as an offensive weapon is the same as walking with a knife. The biggest fear: imagine that this happened at the exact memento landing and the two pilots were hit could have been a serious accident. "
This passenger says: "It was a very disturbed flight and we were all very nervous. I was starting to take my drink when the pilot made the announcement and realized that something serious was happening by the tone of his voice. So it was very scary to be honest. "
Hundreds of incidents involving laser beams aimed at aircraft are increasing every year, according to the authority of the British civil aviation.
A man was arrested earlier this month after a green laser beam having reached the cockpits of several aircraft flying over Kent County, in southeast England.
