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.

A summer intern with the name Sum Yung Gai ? aka Some Young Guy.

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.

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.
