An investigation into the mid-air collision last year finds that an air traffic controller listening to three conversations at once, including a personal phone call, didn't catch a critical pilot error before the deadly accident. Documents released Wednesday, April 28, 2010, by the National Transportation Safety Board say the controller at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey who handled the small plane that collided with the tour helicopter couldn't hear an incorrect radio frequency repeated by the pilot shortly before the crash. Nine people died.
