NTSB official must have been new Exchange officer from Asia known as Yu Ben Trolol

Wow, this story gets even dumber. The NTSB now admits that someone there really did confirm these names!

Here is a press release from their own website:

http://www.ntsb.gov/news/2013/130712.html

July 12
The National Transportation Safety Board apologizes for inaccurate and offensive names that were mistakenly confirmed as those of the pilots of Asiana flight 214, which crashed at San Francisco International Airport on July 6.

Earlier today, in response to an inquiry from a media outlet, a summer intern acted outside the scope of his authority when he erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew on the aircraft.

The NTSB does not release or confirm the names of crewmembers or people involved in transportation accidents to the media. We work hard to ensure that only appropriate factual information regarding an investigation is released and deeply regret today's incident.

Appropriate actions will be taken to ensure that such a serious error is not repeated.

LOL, this is from KTVU's web page on July 8:

“Being first on air and on every platform in all aspects of our coverage was a great accomplishment, but being 100% accurate, effectively using our great sources and social media without putting a single piece of erroneous information on our air, is what we are most proud of as a newsroom,” said Lee Rosenthal, KTVU News Director.

"SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Asiana Airlines said Sunday its reputation was damaged by a report on a San Francisco TV station that used bogus and racially offensive names for four pilots on its plane that crashed earlier this month and is considering legal action."

"An Asiana statement said it’s mulling legal measures against both KTVU-TV and the NTSB because the report ‘‘badly damaged’’ the reputation of the airline and its pilots."

Maybe they should worry more about getting pilots that know what they're fucking doing
