Man Charged in Laser Helicopter Incident

Although he claims that the incident was an accident, David Banach is being charged:

Newsday - A Parsippany man who first claimed his daughter aimed a laser at a helicopter later told federal agents that he pointed the light beam at two aircraft, authorities said Tuesday.

David Banach faces charges of interfering with the operator of a mass transportation vehicle and making false statements to the FBI. He is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court for a hearing Tuesday afternoon.

A very intersting, um … "accident."

Banach managed to shine his green YAG laser into the cockpit of a moving plane at 3,000 feet, temporarily blinding both the pilot and co-pilot. Two nights later, he got lucky enought to hit the cockpit of a police helicopter. Then he lied to the police and the FBI, blamed the second incident on his daughter and finally (after flunking a polygraph) admitted that he'd lied under questioning.

Even Lemony Snicket couldn't match THAT series of unfortunate events.
