xkcd #3030: Lasering Incidents
I still don't know how the police found my compound where I ran an illegal searchlight depot/covert blimp airfield/fireworks testing range.
You're viewing a single thread.
In case any one else has the same thought. Using it as a beacon for rescue will not work.
You say that, but once someone on the ground was shining a bright ass flashlight, not a laser but just as bright, at us and they were flashing ...---... (SOS in Morse). Apparently we were the 4th plane to report it to air traffic control. I've never seen that before or since, but at least that time it worked.
Oh I was informed the lazer would blind the plane and potentially cause the to crash. I know Jack about planes.
I think a stupidly bright flashlight is preferable to a laser, but the idea of signalling for help with a light can work. Please don't use lasers.
Good to know!
