US Airways Just Tweeted Out One Of The Most Graphic Things You’ve Ever Seen A Brand Tweet
YIKES. This is very NSFW and US Airways is looking into what happened exactly. posted on April 14, 2014 at 3:27pm EDT
It all started during this pretty routine conversation with a customer:
Elle @ElleRafter
@USAirways Unhappy that 1787 sat for an hour on tarmac in CLT because overweight, resulting in over hour late arrival in PDX...

US Airways @USAirways
@ellerafter We truly dislike delays too and are very sorry your flight was affected.

Elle @ElleRafter
@USAirways yeah, you seem so very sorry. So sorry, in fact, that you couldn't be bothered to address my other tweets.

And then on Monday, US Airways tweeted this…
The tweet was pulled down about an hour later, but it didn’t stop it from spreading through Twitter very, very fast.

Some people are saying @USAirways was hacked but it looks like an inside job.
