Reminded me of this, which Asiana Airlines is now suing this SF TV station for airing this. You can find the video of the anchor saying these names, it's painful.
Is that real? Urgh.

Someone at this station is in big trouble.

I confess, I laughed when I read this story. It was like The Onion, but real. It makes me wonder two things: what are the media relations protocols at NTSB, and who made the the call to put it on the air at the station? I wonder what the NTSB intern (and how I hope it was really an intern) is doing this morning . . .

Oh, I just put it all together! (Helps to keep Elmer Fudd in mind.) And now I can't help but laugh at these news people. :(

Oh, they're very careful about what goes on the news...
Has anyone seen Mike Hunt?

In Boston, there's no Pho King Way.
There is a Polish tour company by the brilliant name Eurotramping. http://eurotramping.pl/ I once encountered one of their tour buses in Germany with their name boldly emblazoned on the vehicle, much to the amusement of my American visitors.
Here's a great American bus line...

It's quite clear that no protocol whatsoever was being observed.
Similarly stupid and racist, the Chicago Sun Times had a cover page headline the day after the crash: "Fright 214".
