SEATTLE - A laser light flashed the Seahawks charter plane as it approached Sea-Tac Airport on its return from Chicago.

The pilot reported the incident to the FAA about 9 p.m. Sunday as the Boeing 767 was about two miles from the airport. The plane landed safely.

The pilot was not blinded.

The person responsible for shining a laser at a plane could be charged with interference with a flight crew.

Kitsap Sun ran a cartoon two weeks ago showing a shotgun labeled "Saints" aiming at a wounded Seahawk flying overhead. Perhaps the guy with the laser was incited to violence by this cartoon. You can bet that if Sarah Palin had drawn the cartoon there would be national outrage...

Whoever it is, they are stupid. Funny thing is, (as the Ken Hamlin incident shows) you mess with NFL players and bad things happen to you.

@dakotanative, could be a seahawks fan that is disgusted with the entire history of the hawks, it could even be someone who is a dakota native.
