Good find! Wonder if the jeep owner's also a station employee ...
Seriously? Are you really serious? I'm so used to being pranked with this that I've lost all objectivity. If you are serious, WHAT WERE HIS PARENTS THINKING ?They couldn't shorten it to Mick ?
I guess he could have gone by Michael
I swear on my 1.5 children. Like twice a week, over the loudspeaker, "Mike Hunt, report to the office, please. Mike Hunt to the office." WE ALWAYS DIED. Then like halfway through the year someone must have said something to the secretary because then it was "Michael Hunt."
Was in trouble a lot but a nice guy from what I remember.
The poster is from Fla. so prob. not...maybe a station employee is a member of that forum? This stuff was floating around the internet so no telling who might have seen it. What I want to know is who gave the fake names to the person who called the NTSB...and how many people the list made it past with no one picking up on it...editors, fact checker, copywriter, guy who typed them into the teleprompter, whoever made the graphic they showed, etc. etc. It really boggles the mind...
what's wrong with billy rubin?

oooooooohhhhhhhhhh. but who would know that?
Me
(but I was jaundiced as a wee child)
It was done on an ICU floor of a hospital. The staff would know.
MORE IMPORTANT, I WOULD KNOW
lololol I totally missed that it was an ICU. well played.
It's totes more important! lol
Me! MEEEE !! I did !! (just faking, I'm not really that excited) & I have to own up. I only knew because 13 yrs ago, my eldest was a 10 wk preemie NICU baby, & he got to wear the furry glasses outfit when he was still tiny. I nearly posted about it yesterday but my tablet crashed so many times that I gave up (like I do with about 90% of my posts - & that's probaby a good thing too.)
WHY AM I NOW JUST SEEING THIS????
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Are you fucking kidding me? WOW!
Sum Ting Wong?WHY AM I NOW JUST SEEING THIS????
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Are you fucking kidding me? WOW!

Update: This is what happened...
The fake Asiana Airlines pilot names that outraged, amused and baffled Bay Area TV viewers, and countless more online, were emailed to an ace reporter, sources say.
An ex-pilot with a trustworthy reputation, who previously worked with Fox affiliate KTVU, sent the names to award-winning journalist Roland De Wolk, reported local blogger Rich Lieberman. De Wolk, in turn, passed the names along to newsroom staffers, at the San Francisco-based station.
"You better check these (names) out," De Wolk said.
The Boeing 777 airplane crash landed at San Francisco International Airport July 6, 2013 in San Francisco, California.
At least four people reportedly saw the prank names, Captain Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fuk and Bang Ding Ow, before anchor Tori Campbell read them during a noon newscast July 12.
Managing Editor Michelle Toy, who read the names aloud, thought the names sounded suspicious but approved the list regardless. She was told that an official at the National Transportation Safety Board confirmed their authenticity.
That official was "a summer intern (who) acted outside the scope of his authority."
Several KTVU staffers lost their jobs after they read the fictional names and did not stop the anchor from reading them on air.
KTVU fired four staffers for the blunder but spared Toy. She is in a new position in charge of social media. The station posted a classified ad Friday on its website for a managing editor.

So...it was meant to be a joke, except the guy it was sent to passed it on. And somehow, it made it through several layers of approval and preparation, including checking with the NTSB.
Part of the problem is, the station is 'obsessed' with getting stories on the air FIRST according to this blogger, and didn't want the competition to beat them to it. So, OOPS!
this is funny... she fucked up in checking the sources and accuracy of the story WHEN SHE HAD ACTUAL TIME TO DO SO BEFORE THE BROADCAST so they assign her to social media, a department where accuracy has never known to be a strong suit and urgency in posting is required?Update: This is what happened...
