A TV station in the US has apologised after making a jaw-dropping error while reporting on Asiana Flight 214.

The mistake? KTVU told viewers the names of the pilots onboard the crashed plane were

  • "Sum Ting Wong,"
  • "Wi Tu Lo,"
  • "Ho Lee Fuk" and
  • "Bang Ding Ow",

names that were obviously fake and racially offensive.

 

Minutes later, the channel realised it had fallen for a prank.

The producer in charge of the San Francisco show, Brad Belstock, simply tweeted: "oh s***." His Twitter profile then disappeared.

I know some of you aren’t sold on him, but I’m telling you, this Marrone guy is going to be the best Bills HC since Marv.  He’s going to do wonders with EJ.

Some day all Buffalo News articles will be blocked by a pay wall. For now, I enjoy reading Jerry Sullivan for free. 

 

How much do we need to pay to wall Jerry up?
