    I know many of you may already have seen this as it happend in the summer but this reminds me of the scene in Anchorman where Ron will read anything on the teleprompter. The anchor was given the names and told that the NTSB had verified them but turns out an intern was pulling a prank.

    I believe it was blamed on a summer intern...

    That is amazing.. I did not see that. I knew that some kids had dressed up as pilots with those name tags and everyone bashed them.. but now that I have context its obvious they were mocking the news station.

    4 people at the news station lost their jobs including the production manager. All 4 read the names before passign them to the on air newscaster and they felt they were a little strange sounding but since they were told the NTSB cleared them they ran with it. The intern was also let go. Asiana airlines was going to sue the station over it untill the found out the whole way it went down.

    O My God O my God.... I had to go to a NEW ZEALAND web site to get past the school filters! It was worth it...
    I will show it after school to a few select teachers and students. Thanks!
