Listen to this as a podcast:
Captioning blooper found on an unknown TV network – someone passed this along to me but doesn’t know which TV station it is.
Ed note: Snopes says it’s Los Angeles news station KABC-TV. Thanks Pete.

What a blooper! Best one I’ve seen in ages. Thanks for posting.
More details are available at Snopes.
Good stuff, thanks.
ha ha reminded me last year when captioning came up on a NHL commnetary saying Chicago Black Cocks…..
i seriously hope that’s just a close captioning error
SuperFUNNY…. Toooo Funny!!!
That word obviously should have been evacuating. On a steno keyboard, the J and the V are part of the same letter. It’s hard to explain, but one little tiny finger error can change the word. So from a captioner’s viewpoint, it’s easy to see how this could have happened!
This is worth submitting to TheDailyWTF (http://thedailywtf.com), if it hasn’t been already. That’s pretty bad, although pretty funny too.
