Asiana Airlines claims that the news broadcast that included fictitious names has "badly damaged" the companies reputation and they are considering filing suit. Strange, I thought the fact that the pilot was inexperienced landing at San Francisco airport and the actual crash had caused that, but they will need to buy a new plane.

Fox News reports that Asiana Airlines says its reputation was damaged by a report on a San Francisco TV station that used bogus names for four pilots on its plane that crashed last week that were a play on Asian names and that it is considering legal action.

An anchor for KTVU-TV read the racially offensive names on the air Friday before apologizing for the error after a break. The National Transportation Safety Board has apologized, saying a summer intern erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew.



An Asiana statement Sunday said that the KTVU-TV report "badly damaged" the reputation of the airline and its pilots.

It didn't say what legal measures Asiana is considering.
