A Twitter user is learning the hard way that threatening a major airline on social media is not the best idea.
On Sunday morning, a Twitter user named 'Sarah,' who claims to be a 14-year-old girl, tweeted this not-so-subtle message to American Airlines:
The airline responded within minutes.
The airline's tweet has since been taken down, but not before Sarah got a chance to respond with a series of impassioned pleas:
@AmericanAir omfg I was kidding
- Sarah (@QueenDemetriax_) April 13, 2014
@AmericanAir I'm so sorry I'm scared now
- Sarah (@QueenDemetriax_) April 13, 2014
@AmericanAir I was joking and it was my friend not me, take her IP address not mine
- Sarah (@QueenDemetriax_) April 13, 2014
Sarah's original tweet quickly went viral, garnering more than 10,000 retweets before finally being deleted. In a series of follow-up messages, Sarah -- whose Twitter account is full of news about pop sensation Demi Lovato -- expressed her awe at her sudden online fame.
In a statement to The Huffington Post, American Airlines wrote: 'The safety of our passengers and crew is our number one priority. We take security matters very seriously and work with authorities on a case by case basis.'
'Regarding [Sarah's] tweet,' the statement continued, 'we removed it after it had been addressed in order to be able to focus on our customers.'
On Sunday afternoon, Sarah, who claims to ' live 15 hours from the U.S.,' seemed to express regret over her decision to post that troublemaking tweet.
Well, kind of.
