It actually wasn't their fault. There was heavy rain, which refracted the lasers into their eyes. Plus, the event was using a much higher power laser than they were supposed to.

Anybody remember that kid who fired a green laser pointer at landing jets from a nearby hill and blinded a pilot, causing a crash? Or did that even really happen...
