Transportation Safety Board issued an apology Friday evening for " inaccurate and offensive names that were mistakenly confirmed as those of the pilots of Asiana flight 214, which crashed at San Francisco International Airport on July 6." San Francisco station KTVU was caught in a social media tsunami Friday afternoon after its noon broadcast carried the purported names of the flight crew -- all fake names designed to sound offensive when read out loud.
A station news anchor gave the names as "Sum Ting Wong," "Wi Tu Lo," "Ho Lee Fuk" and "Bang Ding Ow" as an onscreen graphic showed the names printed out. The station issued an apology later in the newscast saying "an NTSB official" confirmed the names. It also posted an apology online.
Friday evening, the NTSB weighed in, explaining "in response to an inquiry from a media outlet, a summer intern acted outside the scope of his authority when he erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew on the aircraft." The NTSB statement also reiterated that the agency "does not release or confirm the names of crew members or people involved in transportation accidents to the media. We work hard to ensure that only appropriate factual information regarding an investigation is released and deeply regret today's incident. "
The NTSB said that "appropriate actions" will be taken to ensure such a "serious error" is not repeated. While the station continued to say the names were "confirmed" by the NTSB, it did not say where the names originally came from. The station issued another on-air apology during its 6 p.m. newscast.
“First of all, we never read the names out loud (ahead of time), phonetically sounding them out,” anchor Frank Somerville said, adding that the station also didn’t ask the position of the person within the NTSB giving them the ultimately erroneous information. The names of the two pilots on the plane had previously been released, so it wasn't clear why the new names didn't raise a red flag in the newsroom.

Yeah sure 4 people flying the plane. Why do the names matter anyway. Do the news channels want us to feel angry at those people and make their lives miserable or something.

OAKLAND (CBS SF) – A Bay Area TV news report which listed racially-offensive, fake Asiana Airline pilot names has cost three veteran staff members their jobs. KTVU-TV has fired investigative producer Roland De Wolk, special projects producer Cristina Gastelu and producer Brad Belstock over their roles in the phony news report on the names of the pilots involved in the crash of Asiana flight 214 at San Francisco International Airport.
The firings were first reported by Bay Area media blogger Rich Lieberman. The July 12th KTVU report turned into a Internet sensation with clips of the broadcast quickly spreading across YouTube and social media. KTVU’s parent company, Cox Communications has recently sent copyright infringement notices to YouTube demanding that the video clips be removed.
Sources told KCBS and KPIX 5 political reporter Phil Matier that the fake names – which had been floating around the Internet days prior to the TV report – were emailed to KTVU by an expert source who had provided information to the station in the past. “One of the real ironies of this, two of the names of the pilots had been in the news for days before this,” Matier said, adding it was now clear the e-mail was not a hoax targeting the station or a joke that had been circulating internally. It is unclear whether the expert source might have forwarded the e-mail as a joke, he said. “I’m not sure we’re ever going to get the complete answers to that because lawyers are involved right now,” said Matier. “And you’ve got corporate coming in from Cox Communications working this thing. You had a systematic failure, alright? It’s called stupid.”

NTSB Releases Terrifying New Footage Showing Asiana 214 Crash At San Francisco Airport
Five months after the crash of an Asiana Airlines 777 at San Francisco International Airport, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is still in the process of sorting out the events of that day. This week, they’re conducting an investigative panel, including testimony from witnesses and also analysis from internal and external technical resources. As part of that investigative process, the agency is releasing new details on the nature of the crash, including the above video showing the actual impact of the Boeing 777.
The video, linked to Twitter from Flightglobal editor David Kaminski-Morrow and apparently clipped from the currently ongoing NTSB hearings, is terrifying. Though the impact takes place far from the camera’s position, one can clearly see the aircraft approaching the runway and dropping out of view, potentially to a point lower than required to land. Upon impact, the tail section breaks off and the main fuselage flips over and careens onto the runway, leaving a cloud of dust and debris behind. Investigators at the hearing describe the destruction as such:
““THE TAIL OF THE AIRCRAFT BROKE OFF AT THE AFT PRESSURE BULKHEAD. THE AIRPLANE SLID ALONG THE RUNWAY BEFORE THE FUSELAGE LIFTED INTO AN APPROXIMATE 30 DEGREE NOSE DOWN ANGLE AND PIVOTED ABOUT 330 DEGREES BEFORE COMING TO REST OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY”
Other details of the event are surfacing as the hearing continues. The NTSB is releasing updates regularly on its Twitter feed, while a live feed of the hearings is being broadcast in several languages on the site, and more details will surface as the hearing concludes.
