7. Not To Mention

Jul 2013

the fact that the actual names of at least two of the pilots had been in the press for at least a week, even here on the east coast. AND were notable in that two of them had the same surname, a common Korean surname at that. *I* could have told just by looking at the fake names, that they were wrong (aside from the attempted "joke" of the fake names), and I'm not even a newsreader who had been reading this news for days. Moran Sum Dum is right!

Yet another example of blaming the lowest man on the totem pole (see, Philadelphia building collapse).
