Default Fact or satirical fiction?

Someone mailed me the following incident the other day. I suspect it's
a satirical work, not factual - I mean, it can't happen real-time like
this ) Is there a way of verifying the extent of the jest? Here's
what was mailed:

NASA ASRS Incident #294800, Atlanta, GA (ATL):
------------------------------------
Crew: Two-man crew, Captain (CAPT) and First Officer (FO); report
submitted
by FO
Aircraft: MDT (Medium Transport, 30,001 - 60,000 lbs); large turboprop
Flight Conditions: IMC; apparent ceiling 200 ft
ILS Approach Min: 200 ft ceiling and 3/8 mi visibility

CAPT was PF (pilot flying). On Approach (APCH) into ATL, the aircraft
was
stabilized one mile outside Final Approach Fix (FAF) at 2,700 ft MSL.
Aircraft flew through the Localizer (LOC), overcompensated and flew
through
the LOC again at the Marker. Once the Marker light illuminated the Gear
Down/Landing Checklist, to the line, was called. FO proceeded with the
Landing Checklist and called out the major deviations.
* FO: several "wild excursions" ensued.
* At 400 ft AGL, FO stated: "We were full-scale Right of LOC and on
Glide
Slope (GS)."
* At a point above 200 ft AGL, FO called Go-Around (GAR).
* At 200 ft AGL, FO: "We broke out well Right of the Runway (RWY) and
adjacent to the Touchdown Zone (TDZ).
* The CAPT called for GAR; FO pushed up the Power.
* CAPT called: "No, I got the RWY made."
Landing (LNDG) was made after "several wild banks and ensuing jest by
the
Tower (TWR)."
FO self-evaluation:
* "I should have been more assertive as an FO"; and
* I never should have allowed the APCH to pass the first deviation
after
missing the LOC."
