Missteps blamed for Hudson River midair collision
Investigators testified to the NTSB that a midair crash over the Hudson last year killing nine resulted from a chain of errors. An air traffic controller distracted by a personal call delayed a radio frequency handoff, likely causing the pilot to read back 127.8 instead of 127.85. The pilot Steven Altman, 60, Ambler PA, misread the frequency as the other cockpit alerts failed. The crash highlighted cockpit warning system gaps and missed advisories from traffic systems moments before impact.
