KTVU Punk'd Over Asiana Aircraft Pilot's Names by 2legit2qwt: 12:51pm On Jul 15, 2013 |
In what has to be one of the more embarrassing cock-ups in TV news history, KTVU, a Bay Area news station announced on its noon show today that the pilots of the Asiana flight 214 which crashed as it attempted to land at San Francisco airport last Saturday were named, and I am not making this up, “Sum Ting Wong,” “Wi Tu Lo,” “Ho Lee Fuk,” and “Bang Ding Ow.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU2m3xf99R4 An apology was also posted on station’s Web site which reiterated that “… the names were confirmed by an NTSB official in the agency’s Washington, D.C. office.” Interestingly, Gawker notes that: NTSB Public Affairs Officer Peter Knudson just told Gawker that the NTSB’s policy is to never give out pilot names in these situations, which contradicts KTVU’s claims. “I don’t know who [KTVU] got that from, but we do not release names,” he said. I’d guess someone, somewhere is going to get fired. The National Transportation Safety Board apologizes for inaccurate and offensive names that were mistakenly confirmed as those of the pilots of Asiana flight 214, which crashed at San Francisco International Airport on July 6. Earlier today, in response to an inquiry from a media outlet, a summer intern acted outside the scope of his authority when he erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew on the aircraft. The NTSB does not release or confirm the names of crewmembers or people involved in transportation accidents to the media. We work hard to ensure that only appropriate factual information regarding an investigation is released and deeply regret today’s incident. Appropriate actions will be taken to ensure that such a serious error is not repeated. Of course, the summer intern did not act “outside the scope of his authority” … that’s just a mealy-mouthed way of saying that the intern pulled practical joke in bad taste and the NTSB has a gaping hole in its standard operating procedures.

delors: Like it or not bro you are wrong All those names coincide with expressions of the pilots before or during the crash And yes bang and ding are sounds of a crash and ow is the expression of someone who probably hit his head so where does "bang the hole" feature here you pervert 1 Like |

If you check correctly, the names are supposed to be things said when they realised something bad is gonna happen to the plane Sum Tin Wong - something is wrong Wi Tu Low - we are too low Ho Lee Fuk - holy f**k Bang Ding Ow - bang...ding...ouch *like the sound made in cartoons when something crash lands* 1 Like |
