NTSB in a press statement blames an intern over the fake racially offensive names of Asiana pilot names.
The National Transportation Safety Board apologizes for inaccurate and offensive names that were mistakenly confirmed as those of the pilots of Asiana flight 214, which crashed at San Francisco International Airport on July 6.
Earlier today, in response to an inquiry from a media outlet, a summer intern acted outside the scope of his authority when he erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew on the aircraft.
The NTSB does not release or confirm the names of crew-members or people involved in transportation accidents to the media. We work hard to ensure that only appropriate factual information regarding an investigation is released and deeply regret today's incident.
This is no intern mistake, the racist suggestive names were deliberately created if you ask me. This smells badly of racism from the intern. If the intern was trying to be funny, thats a nasty poor taste of making a comedy out of a tragedy. That's my take on it. What is your take?
That is so racist. That is so wrong. With the Zimmerman verdict I doubt if anything will be done to the intern.
