"In KTVU’s Noon newscast on Friday, July 12th, the station misidentified the pilots involved in the Asiana Airlines crash at SFO.

Prior to air, the names were confirmed by an NTSB official in the agency’s Washington, D.C. office. Despite that confirmation, KTVU realized the names that aired were not accurate and issued an apology later in the newscast."

I can't believe that in San Francisco, they didn't get this. Something wrong, we too low, holy fuck, bang, ding OWWWW????

Of course, we're not the only country mocking others--as I remember, Bush's name sounded close to some sort of insult in a few countries around the world, and it was exploited for that reason.

I just can't believe that news "gatekeeper" was so stupid.
