Oh, and incidentally, the National Transportation Safety Board admits "a summer intern, Sum Yung Gai, erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew." Ahh, . . . Government at work.

"Asiana hasn’t determined whether to launch a similar suit against the NTSB," said Asiana lawyer So Su Mi.

I love how the TV station is defending themselves by saying the NTSB confirmed the names. The summer intern's real name is Ben Dover.
Likely a few bay area job openings in TV news & production

My complete and utter faith in journalism has been shattered over this event.

And another thing, I didn't think it funny at all, I have a fweind in Bejwing called sum ti wong.

But I'd say these dopes were especially stupid on this occasion.


Here is Peter Jennings being duped in a phony phone call.
