Topic: Shades of Anchorman

From the ARE YOU KIDDING ME! file. KTVU Channel 2 in Oakland, Ca. Actually reported this story concerning the pilots of the ill fated flight 214 that crashed @ SFO Airport. You can't make this stuff up! This IS legit!

Apparently there was no fact checking involved here. The station apologized later and claimed they received the information from the NTSB. BTW, they are a FOX affiliate....nuff said!

OMG.  Un-be-liev-able.  Shocking this could actually happen.

Re: Shades of Anchorman

I saw a news commentary that the names were "racially inappropriate". Holy cow, what a screamer. Shows the level of intelligence out there. Best comment on the link: "they missed the flight engineer's name, Sum Ting Gon Wong." lol

Re: Shades of Anchorman

It appears this info was posted by a summer intern working at the NTSB, but how in the world KTVU let it cross the airwaves is anybodies guess. Asiana Airlines has filed a lawsuit against KTVU and the NTSB for defamation of character. One would think the crash would have wiped out their credibility.

Wow! I thought it was a doctored video, I didn't think it actually made the airwaves! Hahaha, poor KTVU.

Re: Shades of Anchorman

Which proves my point....


.....Newscasters should be paid minimum wage.  All they do is read whatever is on the teleprompter.

If you look up to the heavens just before the start of every Joe Bonamasaa concert you can see Stevie, Jimi, Muddy, Gary and others leaning over God’s railing jockeying for the best view. 
And if you listen, you can hear Stevie say  “ SHHhhhh,  The kids about to start playing.”
