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

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.
