San Francisco News anchor gets played by an intern from the NTSB, airing fake pilot names

One of the funniest fucking pranks I've ever seen, possibly too soon but so fucking funny.

The names were confirmed by a summer intern at the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board), the federal agency that investigates plane crashes. My guess is that internship is over. Ron Burgundy would be proud of her teleprompter discipline.

I read today that Asiana is looking at filing suit against both the station and the NTSB. Rightfully so, given that the news station didn't do a good job of checking their info.

Heard this on the radio the other day. The show hosts kept playing it over and over. It was pretty funny.
