That is hysterical!
That is hysterical!
The news station is pointing the finger at the NTSB intern who "confirmed" the names but isn't releasing any info on how the station got the names in the first place. That would be interesting and, I'm sure, a further source of embarrassment.
what about people slowing down the evacuation with their baggage like
why didn they just leave it behind?

Many of them cited fear of the DHS and what would happen to them if they didn't have their passports.
i seen a picture of them exiting with the baggage
and passengers waiting behind ...seemed crazy
And that huffington crap site immediately pulls the race card for this fairly innocent fun.

'Bang Ding Ow' (Bang Ding Owww!)
KTVU is (surprise, surprise) a FOX affiliated station.

You really felt the need to parenthetically translate those names? That's more comical than the news itself.
Fairly innocent fun? Are you kidding me? 3 children have died in an accident and it's okay to make racist jokes about it now? This is egregious racism.
tasteless, not racist

Any truth to the rumor that the "summer intern" was actually that guy that got fired from the Nebraska TV station for lighting up the air with curse words on his first broadcast?
I can confirm that they were the same person.
Ah yes yes it's just tasteless. And that's where it becomes insidious. You know I don't like hiring those paddies. They're a real bunch of lazy drunks. Might have been able to keep those potatoes growing if they were doing a little less drinking. I'm not being racist. It's just my tasteless opinion.
KTVU blames summer intern at NTSB for confirming the names. Intern probably thought he was being punked when they called in to ask if the names were accurate and decided to play along.

I agree. The intern was probably thinking "Are these people f*cking serious? If I confirm will they actually be stupid enough to run and air it?"
The station's "apology" makes no sense. They say they rushed to broadcast the names without anyone at the station reading the names out loud to hear how they would sound phonetically.
But they also say they got confirmation of the spelling of the names in the phone call with the NTSB intern.
Who asks for confirmation of the spelling of a name without saying the name out loud?
Other news media should be pressing the station to fess up on how they were supplied with the "names" in the first place, rather than dumping on the NTSB intern (who was a volunteer, not even a paid gig).
KTVU "Apology":
Jesus Christ, all of you people need a BJ, probably your first one, in the worst way.
IT WAS A FREAKING JOKE, GET OVER IT!!
It's amazing how all of you losers want to turn this into a big crisis.
STFU and it will be mostly forgotten by tonight, the only thing that will keep it going is sanctimonious dicks like you who have appointed themselves as judge and jury of what people are to think and do.
S.T.F.U.
Made me think of this...
Of course, the station failed to mention an apology their summer book reviews of:
The Overpopulation of China, by Wee Fuk-Em-Yung
Hawaiian Vacation Fun, by Kamana Wanaleia
The Yellow River, by I P Daily

Uhh, this was a 777 you ignorant twat. And it was pilot error, even the best plane will crash if you miss the goddamn runway.
