‘That’s just bad writing’: Associated Press clarifies ‘horribly worded’ #MH17 tweet

Life achievement award for the most horribly worded tweet EVER goes to… *drumroll*… the Associated Press! *applause* @AP

BREAKING: Dutch military plane carrying bodies from Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 crash lands in Eindhoven.

— The Associated Press (@AP) July 23, 2014

@AP WOW. Phrasing. The plane crash landed?

— Thomas Myrden (@tmyrden) July 23, 2014

I think the @AP means the plane carrying the victims landed, not that the plane crash-landed…

@GabbbarSingh That's just bad writing from the @AP

That's a huge clarification! “@AP: CLARIFIES: Dutch military plane carrying Malaysia Airlines bodies lands in Eindhoven.”

Uh, that's quite a bit different "@AP: CLARIFIES: Dutch military plane carrying Malaysia Airlines bodies lands in Eindhoven.”

Very unfortunate wording there, @AP. Ever consider reading your tweets out loud before posting them?
