A touch of the tasteless for conan/nbc

[Hell's Bells]

yes i realize it is more due to bad timeing but still could/should have been pulled. conan/nbc did a "lost" parody of a plain crash hours after the kentucky plain crash.

On the other hand, if the Comair crash had happened on the Left Coast, would NBC have gone through with the skit?
Update: Lexington’s NBC affiliate reacts:
WLEX’s president and general manager, Tim Gilbert, who was home watching the telecast with his family, was “stunned” by the intro; if station managers had known about the intro before the broadcast, Lexington viewers wouldn’t have seen it, he said.
“It was a live telecast — we were completely helpless,” Gilbert said of the Emmys. “By the time we began to react, it was over. At the station, we were as horrified as they were at home.”
Gilbert said he’ll complain to NBC, but he said an apology won’t make up for insensitivity.
