TV station apologises for broadcasting fake racially offensive pilot names
Tori Campbell, a presenter on KTVU, a San Francisco Bay Area station, read the fake names on air on Friday. Her report was accompanied with a graphic listing the fake names.
“KTVU has just learned the names of the four pilots who were on board the flight,” Ms Campbell said.
“They are
Captain Sum Ting Wong,
Wi Tu Lo,
Ho Lee Fuk
and
Bang Ding Ow.
And the NTSB has confirmed these are the names of the pilots on board flight 214 when it crashed. We are working to determine exactly what roles each of them played during the landing on Saturday.”
The report was read out despite the names of both pilots being confirmed earlier this week as Lee Jeong-min and Lee Gangguk, both from South Korea.
