My son is a commercial airline pilot and this concerns the hell out of me.
Wouldn't take much to temporarily blind a pilot. Just a momentary flash at night could blind boths pilots long enough to cause them to not be able to see their controls. A plane is probably no more vulnerable than when on approach. Very easy to track at that time. Nice straight glide slope, consistant speed, pilots very busy. The worst possible time in flight for that to happen.
