DALLAS – The spinning search light atop a Dallas strip club inadvertently flooded the cockpit of a jet preparing to land at Love Field Airport on Sunday, sparking safety concerns.
The incident happened just after 11 p.m. when the Southwest Airlines flight was on final approach, about 1,000 feet off the ground and a couple miles from the runway, officials said. That’s when the powerful light on the roof of Bomb Shells in the 2400 block of Walnut Ridge Street apparently caught the inside of the cockpit.
The pilot then radioed to the control tower to report a laser strike, a dangerous situation in which a laser beam strikes the cockpit, possibly causing temporary blindness.
