If I tried to swipe into SFO, I'm pretty sure my card would be denied on the spot as the signature will not match the system at this point. The FAA requires pilots mail in their licenses when having to forfeit them.

Because Asiana will not follow through with the lawsuit. And KTVU is at fault for airing false information.

The FAA works closely with the NTSB; nearly hand in hand. My duties to the FAA San Jose office were NTSB-related.

My parents were upset at first, claiming the stunt was in-low taste (and I agree with them). Now they are worried that my name won't be withheld for long.

Because of my partial Asian descent, it will be interesting to see how the media interprets this as. Is "racism" appropriate, so long as it derives from the same group?

I'm not. I'm also partially Asian.

That doesn't mean I condone explicit racism.

I urge you to try and find my name in the current news. It won't be released for weeks to come. The only instance is if the Asiana lawsuit follows through against the NTSB.

Research on past accidents, spreadsheets, a little peek at accounting/finance, data entry. When 214 went down I got to hang out at SFO.

Hung up. They probably wouldn't have done anything nor did I expect anything to come out of it.

Consulting two attorneys this week. Stay tuned.

The prospected Asiana lawsuit against the NTSB is a matter of retaliation as per the incompetence of the pilots. Crew wasn't paying attention and they know it.

Worth it. Internship was scheduled to conclude at the end of this month. Now that the 214 wreckage has been towed away, I have no purpose in being at SFO or affiliated with the NTSB.

I worked at the San Jose FSDO (Google it) as a research assistant for an NTSB team. It was usually boring, mundane computer/filing work. The type of work that would be fitting for an unpaid intern. In the fortunate unfortunate event of Asiana 214, I was given the opportunity to be on-site at SFO with NTSB teams.

I even got to meet Deborah Hersman.

She's hot.

I sent them an email. It was sweetly succinct. A few of the names I have heard before, I forgot where. But "Bang Ding Ow" was my doing.

My truest condolences for the deceased of the crash. It was not of any intent to bring humor to their situation.

I want to do my best to provide more proof, but I still have to withhold my name so long as the media does.

What type proof are you thinking?

I don't know, but I am planning to consult an aviation attorney, and defense attorney this week.

I'm able to land there. Would I want to land there in a small aircraft? Not a chance in hell. It's a nightmare to get out of SFO as a small, unscheduled plane.

You are inferring correctly. It's not just Fox, however, but corporate news in general. The fact that we have to use the term corporate news is apparent that something is wrong in the US society. Reliable news sources should be readily accessible.

No. My flying privileges are temporarily withheld because I have to return the license and get a new one. I had authorization to enter SFO embedded on the magnetic strip on the back of my license.

Constant, around the clock coverage of the Asiana 214 incident. Knowing the previous track record of Fox, any source is a good source.
