SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Asiana Airlines said Monday it will sue a TV station that incorrectly reported racially offensive names of four pilots onboard the flight that crash-landed in early July at San Francisco International Airport.

Within hours, the broadcast footage had gone viral on the Internet, drawing widespread criticism and ridicule.
