Gotta be a put up job? Although KTVU News really is Oakland channel.

If actually aired, there's quite a prankster on the old graphic generator there, who of course needs another job.

It actually aired. I imagine somebody is probably looking for a job this weekend. :lol:

Apparently the Fault lay not with the news station, but the NTSB. A summer intern at the NTSB provided the names.

NTSB statement on erroneous confirmation of crew names
July 12
The National Transportation Safety Board apologizes 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.

Earlier today, 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 does not release or confirm the names of crewmembers 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.

Appropriate actions will be taken to ensure that such a serious error is not repeated.

 Funny that they want to sue the station, when it is known the stations got the incorrect names from the NTSB.  The NTSB has since removed the intern that was involved even after they said the intern did not make up the names.  So the joke started back even further but the Airline wants to sue the Station that was really the butt of the joke.

That intern is probably a writer for SNL now...

 

While I found it hilarious, I hope the airline shuts the station down.
