A South African TV station has mistakenly reported that former US President George W. Bush had died, the BBC reported. For three seconds ETV News ran a moving banner headline across the screen saying “George Bush is dead”, before the mistake was realised.
The ‘misbroadcast’ reportedly happened when a technician pressed the “broadcast live for transmission” button instead of the one for a test-run. The station has now said test banners would now be done in “gobbledegook”, the BBC report added.
