Asiana Pilots names from KTVU News - YouTube

I guess some local TV station didn't get the joke.

They were hoping for a comment from Mi Su Yu, an attorney representing the victims.

She must be like Ron Burgandy... Reads anything the teleprompter says.

Here's what they said before today about their coverage of the crash:



This incident happened days after station made a web promo hyping its crash coverage:
“This past weekend viewers flocked to KTVU Channel 2 News for coverage of the tragic crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 at San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
KTVU Channel 2 News owned this breaking news story with a number of firsts!
- First on-air.
- First on-line.
- First with alerts to mobile devices.
- First on Twitter & Facebook.
- First with aerial shots from KTVU NewsChopper 2.
- First with a live reporter from the scene.
- First live interview with anyone connected to someone on the flight.
Rosenthal is quoted in the promo: “Being first on air and on every platform in all aspects of our coverage was a great accomplishment, but being 100% accurate, effectively using our great sources and social media without putting a single piece of erroneous information on our air, is what we are most proud of as a newsroom.”
In an-online apology, KTVU general manager Tom Raponi said “We are reviewing our procedures to ensure this type of error does not happen again.”

Is it Wong to laugh about this?

I'm not seeing the value in a lawsuit. The airline claims a set of funny sounding prank names makes the airline look bad. While unprofessional and in poor taste, I don't think it has any effect on the reputation of the airline. You know what makes the airline look bad? Crashing a plane full of people on landing badly enough to knock the tail off and kill several people.

Doesn't matter what anybody thinks.

The airline must prove, in a court of law, that it was harmed financially by the TV clip. It must put a dollar value on the damages.

Not very easy to do and convince a jury or a judge.

While "actual damages" could be nominal, the station's conduct may satisfy the test for exemplary/punitive damages, which would result in an award to "punish" rather than compensate. The punishment award can be based on the net worth of the broadcasting company.
