Liberals are too uptight. They need to take a few tokes and chill out.

You have to have a sense of humor to survive today. These pilot names were as funny as Robert DeNiro’s list of terrorists on Saturday Night Live.

the NTSB, admitting that a “summer intern” had “acted outside the scope of his authority”
Oh yeah, just like those two "rogue" IRS employees in Cincinnati.

Humor is destroyed by overanalysis.
It was a classic prank and a hilarious one.
All the navel-gazing needs to stop on both sides.

No one noticed? No one from the intern hand-off to the person making the graphic for the CBS San Fransisco outlet? How many people were in the chain who did not notice? Slurring the Pope, Mormons on Broadway, and Koreans in the news is OKay, but WW III is ready to start anytime someone satirizes the Koran, or names a football team?

I read elsewhere that the NTSB intern just
confirmed the names provided by someone at KTVU who called asking for confirmation. The person actually guilty of the hoax is probably sitting at a desk in the KTVU newsroom eating popcorn.
KTVU is by the way a very leftist Fox affiliate.

Having been a pilot for many years and spending time “hanger flying” with many other pilots, I know that for the most part pilots are smart, witty and generally fun to be around.
Most of them would consider this to be very funny.
That does not mean that they don't take this accident seriously. They will analyze it down to the smallest detail and modify any faults in their own procedures that are exposed by this accident.
But they will all the while make graveyard jokes.
The author of this story is silly.

“The person actually guilty of the hoax is probably sitting at a desk in the KTVU newsroom eating popcorn.”
I’ve seen where the same list of names had already appeared on Twitter. So the real problem is someone at KTVU tried to get away with a simple Web search rather than go to the proper sources....I suspect.

“Sum Ting Wong”
“Wi Tu Lo”
“Ho Lee Fuk”
“Bang Ding Ow”
...and reported far and wide by that intrepid reporterette, Sum Dum Ho.

Pilot Wai Tu Loh was clutching the yoke upon impact (how long was the stickshaker on before then?).

This is the first I’ve heard of this report. If a broadcaster did something like that, I find it in very poor taste.

Bart Simpson is the prime suspect:Moe, at Bart's suggestion, asks his clientele: "I'm looking for 'Amanda Hughankiss' ", with the expected results.

The damage done in this situation is probably incalculable at this point.I can do the calculation
Media integrity before getting punked .001 and after .001 so with the rounding the damages are approximately....
.001 cents give or take a nickle.
