I agree with @MrsJazz--the name incident isn't ruining their reputation, the crash is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asiana-airlines-fake-names#post-933484 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 17:24:34 +0000 googly-eyes 933484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: same thoughts here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asiana-airlines-fake-names#post-933473 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 17:21:37 +0000 runsyellowlites 933473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: Doh.. I saw NBC in the article &amp; misread it... that is was an NBC station being sued, not that NBC was the one reporting about the other station....</p> <p>*I'm so tired* lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asiana-airlines-fake-names#post-933461 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 17:17:57 +0000 Mrs.Someone 933461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I just double checked, it was 7KTVU in San Francisco, a Fox affiliate... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asiana-airlines-fake-names#post-933452 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 17:16:23 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 933452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: that makes more since.

How disrespectful to the victims involved.</p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: It was an NBC new station, not Fox. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asiana-airlines-fake-names#post-933403 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 17:03:39 +0000 Dandelion 933403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: I LOL'ed too...only cause they didn't realize the names were wrong!</p> <p>That's bad, though...that stupid intern...what was he thinking??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asiana-airlines-fake-names#post-933400 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 17:03:04 +0000 BSB 933400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Oh, really? I thought it was the interns at the local news channel. Wow!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asiana-airlines-fake-names#post-933393 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 17:00:53 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 933393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: CNN just reported a NTSB intern was fired. That's the Nat'l Transportation Safety Board not the news station. So this intern may have sent this out to a bunch of stations, but these were the only copy editors and anchors<br /> to use it. </p> <p>@mrsjazz: yeah, just maybe it's the crash. Hmm, yeah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asiana-airlines-fake-names#post-933387 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 16:59:34 +0000 SugarplumsMom 933387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I admit, I LOLed, but it's pretty awful considering that people we injured and lives were lost. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asiana-airlines-fake-names#post-933386 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 16:59:19 +0000 Mrs.Someone 933386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think its ridiculous that the anchor didn't realize they were fake as she was talking. But first, I guess we must acknowledge that it is Fox News... They have different ethics standards really. And my guess is that the "intern" blame is just a coverup for someone's stupidity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asiana-airlines-fake-names#post-933375 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 16:56:32 +0000 BSB 933375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't believe the anchor didn't realize it midway. Come on!!<br /> By the 2nd or 3rd name, she should have figured it out. </p> <p>As an asian, it's hilarious but yeah, pretty offensive. </p> <p>Have they figure out which intern it was? Or did they fire all the interns? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asiana-airlines-fake-names#post-933351 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 16:49:49 +0000 mrsjazz 933351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still can't believe they read that on-air. No one checks this stuff before they go live? I read that the anchor said they didn't say the names aloud until they were on air, but that's dumb, I would think that if you just read the names on paper you'd know they were fake names.</p> <p>Very insensitive and I agree with the first part of the quote about disparaging Asians with those ridiculous names but I don't think this ruined Asiana Airlines' reputation...um, perhaps the plane crash is doing that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asiana-airlines-fake-names#post-933333 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 16:45:19 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 933333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is crazy. How did they NOT know those were fake names?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asiana-airlines-fake-names#post-933318 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 16:40:53 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 933318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jul/15/asiana-sue-tv-station-over-fake-names/" rel="nofollow">http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jul/15/asiana-sue-tv-station-over-fake-names/</a></p> <p>I am so happy Asiana Airlines is suing. This wasn't funny at all.<br /> This reminds me of Fox News' "Baby Mama" caption for Mrs. Obama. Where's the respect? </p>
