BBC: The airline responded to a customer complaint with a pornographic image from its official Twitter account.

The image, which featured a naked woman and a toy plane, had originally been sent to the company’s Twitter account by another user, it said.

It was then attached to a tweet that was sent to a US Airways customer who had taken to the social network to express her frustration that her flight was delayed.
