Overtired pilot jailed for fatal ferry crash

The pilot who passed out at the helm of the Staten Island ferry in New York before a fatal 2003 crash has been jailed for 18 months for manslaughter.

Assistant Capt Richard Smith gave an impassioned statement as he apologised to relatives and victims and recalled how he was too exhausted to have been working on the day of the crash in 2003 when 11 people died and dozens were injured.
