The giveaway is they all look like Chinese names.

A statement from the station: "EARLIER IN THE NEWSCAST WE GAVE SOME NAMES OF PILOTS INVOLVED IN THE ASIANA AIRLINES CRASH. THESE NAMES WERE NOT ACCURATE DESPITE AN N-T-S-B OFFICIAL IN WASHINGTON CONFIRMING THEM LATE THIS MORNING. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THIS ERROR."

You need to have a serious talk with your friend about shooting vertical videos.

Fake Chinese joke names, Korean airline, sad accident. Sum Ting Wong indeed. I like white people, I even married one but I dislike the all look same stupidity. Lets get with it people, this is 2013.

^^^ I sympathize with your previous comments, but poor taste and mildly racist humor are pretty normal on DT. And the butt of the joke is clearly the white anchorwoman, not the Korean pilots. Deservedly so, and yes, very funny if this joke is real.
