This CNN guy has posted last night on Weibo that 1) while he was using his personal Weibo account he didn't think he was representing CNN so he will be more vigilant next time, 2) he was not on that flight and the person who took photos and asked to have them deleted would not come forward due to the scale of the matter, and 3) he got the flight number wrong and he has been contacted by MU and he has forwarded the correct flight number.

Now this guy has totally lost his creditbility. If anything this should call for CNN to investigate their own employee. What a joke.
