    Funny part is some intern at the ntsb really put this out. Even more funny is the news station that believed it.

    I thought it was BS that a TV station actually reported it until I saw this....

    It was on the Today show this morning explaining how it was broadcast. Hard to imagine how little thought an announcer must give to what they're handed and expected to read. Ron Burgundy to the rescue.

    Asiana to sue SF TV station over false names of pilots 

    Airline labels report offensive



    Associated Press     

    SEOUL, South Korea —     

    Asiana announced Monday that it will sue a San Francisco TV station that it said damaged the airline’s reputation by using bogus and racially offensive     names for four pilots on a plane that crashed earlier this month in San Francisco. An anchor for KTVUTV read the names on the air Friday and then apologized after a break. The report was accompanied by a graphic with the phony names listed alongside a photo of the July 6 crash at San Francisco International Airport that killed three and injured dozens.

    Video of the report has spread widely across the Internet since it was     broadcast. The National Transportation Safety Board has also apologized, saying a summer intern erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew.

    Asiana has decided to     sue KTVU-TV to “strongly respond to its racially discriminatory report” that disparaged Asians, Asiana spokeswoman Lee Hyomin said. She said the airline will likely sue in U.S. courts.

    Neither the station nor the NTSB commented on where the names originated.
