Wait. What?

Wait.

Is this real life?

By the way, I speak Mandarin. I'm Taiwanese. I was born and raised in New York amidst a densely Asian populated community, moved to the Caucasian-heavy suburbs in my preteen/early teen years, and currently enjoy a healthy diverse group of buddies, so I'm quite used to the humor.

Someone just got fired. Fired hard.

Actually, scratch that. An entire department probably just got fired.

The NTSB also apologized and said a summer intern "acted outside the scope of his authority" when he erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew.
"Appropriate actions will be taken to ensure that such a serious error is not repeated," the NTSB said in a statement.
Neither the station nor the NTSB commented on where the names originated.
Flight 214 crashed Saturday at San Francisco International Airport, killing three and injuring dozens."
