Asiana Airlines has dropped plans to sue a TV station that used fake and racially offensive names for four pilots of a plane that crashed in San Francisco.
Three people died in the accident involving the South Korean carrier, which said it preferred to focus on supporting passengers and families rather than legal action.
KTVU-TV had already apologised after anchor Tori Campbell read the fake Korean-sounding names live on air, in a report accompanied by a graphic and a photo of the burned-out plane
Tori Campbell apologised immediately after the names were shown The airline's decision to abandon plans for legal action came as it emerged a Chicago law firm had taken steps to sue Boeing on behalf of 83 people who were aboard the flight.
They allege that a malfunction of the plane's auto throttle may have caused the crash.
Ribbeck Law Chartered filed a petition for discovery, which is meant to preserve evidence, in Cook County Circuit Court in Chicago, where the aircraft manufacturer is based.
The firm said in a news release that additional pleadings will be filed against Asiana Airlines and several component parts manufacturers in coming days.
It is claimed there were faults with the aircraft In addition to potential problems with the Boeing 777's auto throttle, some emergency slides reportedly opened inside the plane, injuring passengers and blocking their exit, while some passengers had to be cut out of their seatbelts with a knife, according to the firm.
"We must find the causes of the crash and demand that the problems with the airline and the aircraft are immediately resolved to avoid future tragedies," attorney Monica R Kelly, head of Ribbeck's aviation department, said in a written statement.
Three Chinese teenage girls were killed when the plane, carrying 307 passengers and crew on a flight from South Korea to San Francisco International Airport on July 6, approached the runway too low and slow.
The plane clipped a seawall at the end of a runway, tearing off the tail and sending the plane spinning down the runway. The impact caused the plane to catch fire.
Boeing spokesman John Dern said the company had no comment.
