US Airways accidentally tweets out hardcore porn image

Let's just say US Airways has a long way to go when it comes to customer service.

The American airline created a Twitter firestorm Monday after posting a hardcore pornographic image in response to a customer.

"We welcome feedback, Elle. If your travel is complete, you can detail it here for review and follow-up."

But instead of including a helpful link, the airline attached a graphic photo of a naked woman with a toy plane between her legs.

Not exactly helpful. And definitely NSFW. In fact, pretty much not safe for anywhere.

US Airways spokesman Matt Miller told USA Today that the image was first tweeted from an individual's handle, and then accidentally included in the response tweet.

"Our investigation has determined that the image was initially posted to our Twitter feed by another user. We captured the tweet to flag it as inappropriate. Unfortunately the image was inadvertently included in a response to a customer," Miller said.

US Airways removed the tweet and quickly apologized.
