An anchor for KTVU-TV read the names on the air Friday and then apologized after a break. The report was accompanied by a graphic with the phony names listed alongside a photo of the burned-out plane that had crashed at San Francisco International Airport on July 6, killing three and injuring dozens. Video of the report has spread widely across the Internet since it was broadcast. The National Transportation Safety Board has also apologized, saying a summer intern erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew.

add naka moron to that list..
This had its origins in a malicious prank, but it is even more upsetting to see that people fell for it.
No doubt the famous Korean attorney, Soh We Su, will take them to court.
It’s bad enough that this prank made it past the copy editor, but how did the anchor fail to catch it when she was reading it out loud over the air? Even Moe on The Simpsons would have figured this one out.
