Air traffic controller suspended for watching film while on duty...

Federal aviation officials say another air traffic controller has been suspended, this time for watching a movie when he was supposed to be monitoring aircraft.

While on duty, the controller was watching the 2007 crime thriller "Cleaner," starring Samuel L Jackson on a DVD player early on Sunday morning at a regional radar centre in Cleveland that handles high altitude air traffic.

The controller's microphone was inadvertently activated, briefly transmitting the movie's soundtrack to all the planes in the airspace that the controller was supposed to be monitoring, the agency said. More...
