The best part of live TV is the fact that anything can happen. As a matter of fact, 2013 was filled with some of the funniest live TV/news bloopers I've ever witnessed (or seen online).
KTVU News recently reported the names of the pilots of Asiana Flight 214. Apparently they didn't think it was necessary to look further into the reports of the names before they went on air.
How someone thought "Sum Ting Wong" was a real name is beyond me.
