While reporting on the crash during their noon newscast on July 12th, Bay Area Fox affiliate KTVU co-anchor Tori Campbell reported that the names of the pilots on board were “Sum Ting Wong,” “Wi Tu Lo,” “Ho Lee Fuk” and “Bang Ding Ow.”
On the evening of July 12th, the NTSB issued an apology via press release noting that a summer intern had acted on his own authority by confirming the fake names, and asserted that appropriate action would be taken to assure a similar error would not happen again.
As far as I know, the identity of the intern remains undisclosed.
I grab relevant Japanese and butcher it until it sounds vaguely fantasy-Western. Never fails.
Let’s see… Ho Lee Sheet, I need to start doing that. But I guess my players will suspect Sum Tin Wong
