I expect better from the BBC. Overall, they maintain pretty good standards and I think it helps that they are publicly funded and not beholden to commercial considerations. There has been a trend lately to recruit some of the younger reporters from local TV news stations for the 24 hour news channels and the lack of experience shows at times. I reckon this might be an example.

Edit:
Having taken a look at the bbc website, they are linking to the Aviation Safety Network website. These are the stats they are most likely looking at:
