Somebody fed KTVU TV (SFO) the wrong names of the pilots of the Airliner that crashed in San Francisco last week, as a joke. The list actually made it onto the air.

I didn't embed the video to conform to forum rules (one of the names contains a modified profanity, and all are racist), but this is one of the dumbest screwups on air I can ever remember. You have to be a real cottage-cheese-for-brains to read this list with a straight face......on the air.......but by golly, someone at KTVU is just that dumb.

Priceless!

Absolutely awesome!!!

I bet our Commander in Chief would have made the same mistake had it scrolled across his telepromter...

Speechless. That was funny and so wrong in so many ways.

God bless the press

Haha! That is amazing!

I think I remember a few of those guys from flight school!

What's hilarious is that a TV news crew in the PC capitol of the world would fall for that stunt!

I almost felt a little bit guilty laughing at that as hard as I did---almost. The NTSB is apparently blaming an "intern" (how very convenient) for improperly "confirming" the pilots' names: http://www.ntsb.gov/news/2013/130712.html. Idiocy knows no bounds.

You can hardly blame the "intern"... I mean if I'd picked up the phone and gotten that question, I'd immediately conclude that some 12 year old kid was prank-calling me.

Incidentally, this is probably the funniest thing I've seen all year. Not the names themselves, but that a news organization was in such a hurry to get this out the door that they didn't even think about it... I'm still all these hours later.

I'm Ron Burgandy?

Not only do I not blame what is very likely an imaginary "intern" (and, hence, my comment about convenience), I lay the blame fully upon yet another entirely over-funded, probably unneeded, incompetent government institution, which spends incredible amounts of organizational time (and my tax dollars) figuring out how to blame-shift in the most politically correct manner possible, rather than actually accomplishing any real work. In other words, the near-instant NTSB response only added to my amusement at the video.

Bang Ding Ow.!!

Priceless.

And still the leftstream media can't figure out why everyone doesn't just swallow everything they dish out as totally credible......
