A South African TV station erroneously broadcast that former US President George Bush had died during one of its news bulletins.
For three seconds ETV News ran a moving banner headline across the screen saying "George Bush is dead".
The "misbroadcast" happened when a technician pressed the "broadcast live for transmission" button instead of the one for a test-run.
The station said test banners would now be done in "gobbledegook".
