Default Local TV Idiots Pranked

[I hope this is true. Watch the brief vid clip thru link, too funny]

Pranked TV Station Reports “Ho Lee Fuk,” “Wi Tu Lo” As SF Crash Pilots

Bay Area Fox affiliate KTVU purportedly learned the names of the flight crew of Asiana flight 214, which crashed last Saturday at San Francisco International Airport, killing two. These—"Sum Ting Wong," "Wi Tu Lo," "Ho Lee Fuk," and "Bang Ding Ow"—are not their names. The newscaster's credulous reading puts it over the top.

This aired just after noon, local time. Via Gawker, the station read a statement later in the broadcast:

Earlier in the newscast we gave some names of pilots involved in the Asiana Airlines crash. These names were not accurate despite an NTSB official in Washington confirming them late this morning. We apologize for the error.

Typical of your brainless female tv news actress. You can tell the broad is too dumb to process what she's reading real-time, although she does hestitate before pronouncing fook instead of fuck.

"Has released the names of the four pilots:

Some-ting Wong
We 2 Low
Ho-Li Fook
Bang Ding Ow"

Wha?!?



Edit* I watched the vid before reading the descrip on YT. Much funnier that way.

Some excerpts.

That's actually offensive enough that someone may pursue legal action. If they use Bay-area lawyer Mi Su Yu, that station is fucked.

Producer at KTVU: Luk Fo Wok

In a statement addressing the error, WTVU's spokesperson apologized, saying "we'll just have to keep our eyes wide open" for these types of pranks in the future.


I'm guessing that the culprit is Jok-go Bad, who's about to get a visit from HR person Sum Gui Cand.

He'll soon be working with his friend, Reh Zu May.

Hopefully he goes quietly, and they don't have to bring in the security guard, Yu Git Gon.

Wonderful investigative journalism by KTVU's new foreign correspondant, El Oh El


Though the clip was cut off, they slso identified one of the 2 dead as 16-year old Oh No Truk.

Asiana Airlines considers legal action against NTSB and SF TV station after bogus names are broadcast
From ASSOCIATED PRESS
Last Updated: 9:42 AM, July 14, 2013

SEOUL, South Korea — Asiana Airlines said Sunday its reputation was damaged by a report on a San Francisco TV station that used bogus and racially offensive names for four pilots on its plane that crashed earlier this month and is considering legal action.

An anchor for KTVU-TV read the names on the air Friday and then apologized after a break. The report was accompanied by a graphic with the phony names listed alongside a photo of the burned out plane. Video of the report has spread widely across the Internet since it was broadcast.

The National Transportation Safety Board has also apologized, saying a summer intern erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew.

An Asiana statement said it's mulling legal measures against both KTVU-TV and the NTSB because the report "badly damaged" the reputation of the airline and its pilots.

It didn't say what legal measures it was considering.

Neither the station nor the NTSB commented on where the names originated.

The four pilots, who underwent questioning by a U.S. and South Korean joint investigation team while in the U.S., returned to South Korea on Saturday. South Korean officials plan to conduct separate interviews with them, South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said Sunday.

Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crashed at San Francisco International Airport on July 6, killing three and injuring dozens.

The last name was actually mistaken for a description many on board had of the impact and resulting carnage - "ohhh ohhh plane suede on runway and it then went BANG, then went DING, and everybody go OW".

I 2nd and 3rd that sentiment, extremely funny comments being posted, hope to hell they are not removed. My favorite on there thus far is a poster who claimed that "Sum Yung Ho died in this too I heard."

Fair enough for the media to be pranked. After all, the media has been pranking the American people during the whole Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case.

Typical asian logic. What is it that damages your reputation (lose 'face')? It's a news report using joke names for your incompetent pilots. Crashing your jet at landing? .. no loss of reputation there?
