After an Asiana Airlines passenger jet crashed and burned at San
Francisco International Airport on July 6, 2013, a Bay Area TV station
published what it claims were the names of the pilots, including Captain
Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Low, Ho Lee Fuk, and Band Ding Ow. Unbelievably,
as shown below, no one at KTVU-TV picked up on the joke and the anchor
read the names in all seriousness. It turns out that a summer intern
with the National Transportation Safety Board was the culprit in passing
along the names. Now, Asiana is suing the station for injury to its
reputation, a novel claim that could raise questions over not just the
fact of injury but the degree of injury in such a prank.
