I heard about this and wondered what the fallout would be. Here is a youtube clip from the actual news cast.

Ho Lee Fuk is right! How did this get through the entire newsroom and on the air?
It reminds me of this...
SEOUL, South Korea - Asiana plans to sue a California television station that mistakenly aired fake, racially offensive names for the pilots of the flight that crashed last week in San Francisco, the airline announced Monday.
The Korean carrier said it had selected a U.S. law firm and will soon file a petition with the courts on the grounds of defamation.
In a Friday report, Oakland TV station KTVU broadcast four erroneous names for the pilots of Flight 214 after a National Transportation Safety Board intern mistakenly confirmed them as being correct.
"This legal action is being taken because of the KTVU report that not only disparaged Asians in general through the use of racially charged epithets, but also severely damaged the reputation of Asiana Airlines," the company said in a statement.
