Nine years ago, a Boeing 777 ripped into two pieces as it crashed into the seawall at the San Francisco International Airport, killing three children. But instead of feeling sympathy, America laughed. Literally. Later that day, a news station fell for a sick prank by the NTSB and broadcast now-famous fake pilot names: Captain Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Low, Ho Lee Fuk, and Bang Ding Ow. In the aftermath of the accident, the average American was only aware of the prank played on the news station. But this tasteless joke covered up a real, tragic event of death, corruption, negligence, and loss. Find out what really happened on Asiana 214 in this episode with Caroline and Trevor.
