(AP Photo/Paul Sakuma) A look at some of the public apologies that made headlines this week: Crash footage: "Unfortunately a very bad choice was made to use a real crash instead of creating a VFX shot, without realizing the impact it could have on the families. ... I want to also extend my deepest apology to the families, and also to the U.S. Air Force."—Michael Bay, film producer whose Project Almanac included a clip of a real B-52 crash that killed four. Tax time: "We messed up. We made a change this year to TurboTax desktop software and we didn’t do enough to communicate this change to you as proactively and broadly as we could or should have. I am very sorry for the anger and frustration we may have caused you."—TurboTax general manager Sasan Goodarzi. The company is offering a $25 rebate to customers who suddenly discovered they needed to upgrade. Soccer woes: "I accept and respect the Federation’s decision, and more importantly, I apologize for disappointing my teammates, coaches and the Federation who have always supported me."—Hope Solo, following her suspension from the women's national team after yet another run-in with police. Hitler, again: "I apologize to everybody who has felt attacked by my online postings."—Lutz Bachmann, leader of a right-wing movement in Germany, after a photo emerged of him posing as Hitler. Then there was the "Three Ks a day keeps the minorities away" caption under a KKK photo. (A Hilter apology made news last week, too.) No-go zones, again: “In the wave of the Paris attacks, several guests on this program mentioned ‘no-go zones’ in France. I didn’t challenge them and twice referred to them as well.
