Out of all the news coverage showing the search crews manning the planes, never once did I see anyone wearing sunglasses. Wouldn't polarized glasses actually help with reflection/glare?
- mannykannot 13y agoPolarized glasses help with reflection at a shallow angle, but the observers will be looking down, not across the surface, and when the sun is low on the horizon, all observers will be looking away from the sun, as it would be a waste of time to try to see anything up-sun, even with polarized glasses. In addition, using polarized glasses might lead to seeing the colored bands of stress birefringence in the window, depending on what material it is made of.
