So he's lining up the aircraft, doesn't know he's losing speed, in addition, the water has that depth perception trick on him. By the time he figures it out it's too late.

Holy cow. Someone managed to get a news station to actually broadcast this report.

KTVU Reports Asiana Air Pilots Were “Sum Ting Wong” and “Ho Lee Fuk”

Bay Area news station KTVU just reported that the pilots of Asiana's disastrous flight 214 were the crack team of "Sum Ting Wong," "Wi Tu Lo," "Ho Lee Fuk," and "Bang Ding Ow."

Despite the names obviously being just a bunch of racist jokes, KTVU, which has since apologized for the report, claims in a statement given to Gawker—and read on the air—that an NTSB official confirmed the names to them earlier today.

Something tells me they had to know and the joke was on the anchor woman. Or, the news station is running an Idiocracy.

Unless it was a big shot, somebody probably lost a job. Just another time when the 'news' didn't check it's source.

 Sum Ting Wong  with your source. Demoted to coffee guy

Asiana Airlines is threatening to sue the TV station and NTSB.

NTSB statement on erroneous confirmation of crew names
July 12

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 crewmembers 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.

Appropriate actions will be taken to ensure that such a serious error is not repeated.
