    KTVU Channel 2 is apologizing for an on-air gaffe that the station — or viewers – won’t soon forget.

    During the noon newscast Friday, co-anchor Tori Campbell, announced that “KTVU has just learned the names of the four pilots who were on board” Asiana flight 214 when it crashed at San FranciscoInternational Airport on Saturday.

    She then read from a teleprompter while a TV graphic displayed four fake names that clearly were someone’s idea of a joke.

    The first name — “Captain Sum Ting Wong” — should have been a give-away that something really was wrong. But Campbell kept reading… “Wi Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fuk, Bang Ding Ow.”

    I just saw it on YouTube for the first time today. Absolutely hilarious. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

    More likely due to intense embarrassment and Asiana Airlines had threatend to sue them.

    Mind it'll be popping up and removed a few more times before they realise suppressing is futile and it'd be better to ignore until people will move onto something else more interesting on youtube, for now its back in belows Link from 42 Seconds.
