Safety Board Blames Overworked Pilot In MSP Chopper Crash

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- We finally know the most-likely cause of that horrible crash of a Maryland State Police helicopter.

The pilot, two medics, and an accident victim died a year ago --and just one teenager survived.

The National Transportation Safety Board is blaming pilot Stephen Bunker, who unexpectedly flew into a dense cloud bank, and then tried desperately to get below it.

He was looking so frantically for the ground that he ignored an altimeter that might have warned him he was about to crash into it.

But the Board also says a whole series of other mistakes by air traffic controllers contributed to the crisis.
