so wrong on so many levels. lol

Someone is probably going to lose their job over this. I was watching the news broadcast when this happened and I called a friend to see if he was watching. About 5 minutes after they aired this, the news anchor came and apologized for the error and said the names were incorrect. Ya think!!!!

[Vince@Meanstreets]

no, that never aired....

[garickman]

no, that never aired....

It did air Vince. I watched it on the noon news. I even called a friend to see if he was watching the news. Maybe you were working on my car and didn't get a chance to see it.:D

KTVU apparently tried to cover their asses by saying later that the NTSB released the pilot names.

Then soon after the NTSB made a statement saying we have never released pilot names in a plane crash.

Unbelievable.

[GregWeld]

I'm sorry but that's just funny as hell.... not the crash or people getting hurt -- but I can't imagine that none of the news people could look at that list of names and not say --- OH COME ON! REALLY!


Idiots.

Idiots.

Couldn't agree more.

[garickman]

On the 6PM newscast, they couldn't apologize fast enough. The NTSB also issued a statement saying that the Chanel 2 news did call them to confirm the spelling of the fake names. They blamed it on an intern who was not allowed to take calls and he told the Chanel 2 news those were the correct names. My guess is that he is no longer an intern. Either way, more than one person dropped the ball on this.

[badmatt]

I lol'd

[Sieg]

Either way, more than one person dropped the ball on this.More like dropped the Wedding Cake! :D

Someone was getting payback is my guess in this situation. The newscaster being able to read all four names without a light going on is...... :shakehead:

[ErikLS2]

Wouldn't surprise me if Howard Stern's crew was in on that one.

[GregWeld]

Saw this on NBC.COM news....

Well Greg. Back in the day you had to be a journalist and posses some intelligence to sit in front of a camera and inform the public on important issues. Now you just have to be a puppet controlled by a prompter that has the correct look. Just one more sign of the low standard we willingly accept in this country these days.:shakehead:

Plus the whole world is watching :disgusted:

The 12 year old in me. Can't stop laughing. The adult in me couldn't be more ashamed.
