Oh yeah, gusting nearly 50 I believe

I dont know how accurate it is, but if you ckick on the airport icon, blue / white circle it gives you wind speed at the top of page.

30kt regular gusts of 37kt @ DUB. I'm just a mile and a bit from 28 and it's really howling out there...

A ryanair flight advised that they were targeted with lasers 8.5miles off their left side.

If anything happened to a plane in this situation, surely that's manslaughter if the worst occurs? Hell depending on intention, murder?! I'm sure there's a law student reading this post in bewilderment

Should be brought out and shot, can they not see the dangers!

I wouldn't quite shoot them :P but yes the punishment should be severe especially if already given a warning.

Offered 28 next time and they request it...

Ok then they should be used as the skid during minimum takeoff testing by a manufacturer

As a law student - it'd be fairly difficult to prove manslaughter or murder. You'd need to prove exactly who it was, and that they knew a risk.

Thanks for this. Can you imagine though if a commercial plane crashed with everyone on board dead, maybe some on the ground in say Dublin or London - do we really think the public would let those responsible away with nothing? I daresay some penalty would be enforced, somehow, and it wouldn't be pleasant.

I am of course way overdramatising things, but the risk is still there even if extremely slim.

FR745Q looking for LPL & SNN weather now,

Doubt he'll beat our American man from last week bypassing DUB and diverting straight to LHR. (Definitely not for a Harrod's trip)
