Lasers and laws

Like children's portraits in the 80's, the Black Eyed Peas have lasers.



[Embedded video]

This summer when I mentioned this fact to a cousin of mine who works in lighting business in the US she was shocked to hear what the Black Eyed Peas had done in Halifax. Apparently in the US you can't just shoot high powered lasers into the sky. All such lasers have to be aimed at definite end points. Apparently the concern is shooting a pilot in the eye, or something like that. Anyway, apparently the nearby air force base didn't have too many problems as I don't recall hearing about any accidents the next day.

If you are wondering why this is going up now and was not posted when filmed the answer is laziness. I forgot to post it and just happened across it this afternoon as I was deleting old video files from my computer.

The answer is you were saving content in your back pocket for the blog off!

I wish I could say that that had something to do with it, but sadly it does not.
