    The idiots at KTVU on the SFO plane crash...

    KTVU is the local Oakland Fox-affiliate TV station.

    The four pilots are named...but they are not exactly "real" names.

    I don't mean to make light of us...but this was very Howard Sternish...I couldn't help but chuckle...



    I'm not going to post a laughing smilie, because it's sort of borders on racism...but I laughed...blame KTVU for not noticing.

        This is why I stay away from ALL television commercial News, they can't fact check to save their lives OR ignore stories......

            How does a news station get sum ting like this so wong? Seriously, how did this get past program and news directors? I guess the better question is how did they acquire this information since obviously no other station aired it? All credibility, if there was any, for KTVU is gone.
            I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

            If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

              Audiences have a short attention span, KTVU's stupidity will be forgotten by next week.

              KTVU is a powerhouse station here in the Bay Area, they'll shake this off.

                Program and news directors are not the only ones at fault...the anchorwoman messed up too...a sharper person would've picked that up...and avoided all this embarrassment by apologizing to viewers right there and them...for such a tasteless mistake (albeit funny).

                She reminds me of Ron Burgundy, mindlessly reading off the teleprompter like a clueless bumbling idiot, lol.

                  Believe it or not, Scott, they got the names of the pilots from the NTSB.

                    When did they hire Ted Baxter? I thought Ted Knight was dead.

                          Amazing, such a top notch station...do such a stupid thing.

                          KTVU:




                          I went to see a live Creatures Features show there with the late Bob Wilkins back in the day.

                            Looks like they might be getting sued by the airline now.

                              was the name of the NTSB intern Bartholomew J. Simpson?
