US television station KTVU approached the NTSB (National Transportation Transport Board) and asked them to confirm the names of the pilots in the ill-fated plane which crash landed in San Francisco.
According to the NTSB, a 'summer intern' exceeded their authority in confirming the names to the TV station.
The names were duly read out live on air.

Setting aside the racial element, the really funny thing is that the fake names are in
ascending order of panic you might expect in the cockpit immediately prior to the crash.
I'd like to find the person responsible for this little gem and shake them by the hand. It's an awesome bit of comedy.
Want to know the really, really, REALLY funny thing? The airline is planning to sue the TV station. Claiming ...
"We decided to sue KTVU because Asiana Airlines thinks their news defames our pilots and our company's reputation," Kiwon Suh, an Asiana spokesman, said.
Surely that should be spokeman We Su Yu As?
Of course the Asiana pilots didn't manage to dent their companies reputation by crash landing the plane did they?
Give it up Asiana. All you'll reap is more comedy at your expense.
