Related: About this forumKorean TV station mocks KTVU with fake American pilot names after Southwest landing
You probably remember KTVUs royal eff up with reading obviously fake Asian names for the pilots of the Asiana crash. Names like Wi To Lo and Ho Lee Fuk.
It looks like a Korean news agency is having some fun at KTVUs expense. After the landing gear failure of the Southwest flight at LGA they showed this graphic with American pilot names Captain Kent Parker Wright, Co-Captain Wyatt Wooden Workman.
They even went as far as making up fake names for people to interview. Flight instructor Heywood U. Flye-Moore and skeptical passenger Macy Lawyers.
Well played Korean TV, well played.
