Asiana Airlines to sue KTVU over fake pilot names | Asian Headlines | World News | Comcast

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) ? Asiana announced Monday that it will sue a San Francisco TV station that it said damaged the airline's reputation by using bogus and racially offensive names for four pilots on a plane that crashed earlier this month in San Francisco.

An anchor for KTVU-TV read the names on the air Friday and then apologized after a break. The report was accompanied by a graphic with the phony names listed alongside a photo of the burned-out plane that had crashed at San Francisco International Airport on July 6, killing three and injuring dozens.

Video of the report has spread widely across the Internet since it was broadcast.

The National Transportation Safety Board has also apologized, saying a summer intern erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew.

Asiana has decided to sue KTVU-TV to "strongly respond to its racially discriminatory report" that disparaged Asians, Asiana spokeswoman Lee Hyomin said. She said the airline will likely file suit in U.S. courts.

She said the report seriously damaged Asiana's reputation. Asiana decided not to sue the NTSB because it said it was the TV station report, not the U.S. federal agency that damaged the airline's reputation. Lee did not elaborate.

KTVU-TV did not immediately reply to emails sent by The Associated Press seeking comment.

Neither the station nor the NTSB commented on where the names originated.

The four pilots, who underwent questioning by a U.S. and South Korean joint investigation team while in the U.S., returned to South Korea on Saturday. South Korean officials plan to conduct separate interviews with them, South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said.
 
I feel sorry for guys named Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, Ho Li Fuk and Bang Ding Ow

The lack of a Lee or Young or Jung didn't send up alerts? Half of Korea is one of those.
 
NTSB Releases Terrifying New Footage Showing Asiana 214 Crash At San Francisco Airport - Forbes

NTSB Releases Terrifying New Footage Showing Asiana 214 Crash At San Francisco Airport

Five months after the crash of an Asiana Airlines 777 at San Francisco International Airport, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is still in the process of sorting out the events of that day. This week, they?re conducting an investigative panel, including testimony from witnesses and also analysis from internal and external technical resources. As part of that investigative process, the agency is releasing new details on the nature of the crash, including the above video showing the actual impact of the Boeing 777.

The video, linked to Twitter from Flightglobal editor David Kaminski-Morrow and apparently clipped from the currently ongoing NTSB hearings, is terrifying. Though the impact takes place far from the camera?s position, one can clearly see the aircraft approaching the runway and dropping out of view, potentially to a point lower than required to land. Upon impact, the tail section breaks off and the main fuselage flips over and careens onto the runway, leaving a cloud of dust and debris behind. Investigators at the hearing describe the destruction as such:



??THE TAIL OF THE AIRCRAFT BROKE OFF AT THE AFT PRESSURE BULKHEAD. THE AIRPLANE SLID ALONG THE RUNWAY BEFORE THE FUSELAGE LIFTED INTO AN APPROXIMATE 30 DEGREE NOSE DOWN ANGLE AND PIVOTED ABOUT 330 DEGREES BEFORE COMING TO REST OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY?

Other details of the event are surfacing as the hearing continues. The NTSB is releasing updates regularly on its Twitter feed, while a live feed of the hearings is being broadcast in several languages on the site, and more details will surface as the hearing concludes.
