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.

If the cause of the crash is eventually determined to be mechanical and involve no pilot error, I can see Asiana having a case. Mocking the pilots for being bumbling fools if they played no part in the crash could very well harm Asiana's reputation unduly.
