Cute teddy bear tweet by M'sia Airlines had to be deleted after MH17 crash reported

This cute teddy bear mascot, named Pilot Parker, was tweeted by Malaysia Airlines just some 12 hours before news broke that MH17 had crashed in Ukraine, reportedly killing all 295 on board.

Malaysia Airlines kept the Pilot Parker tweet for a short while, as updates of the plane crash were featured uncomfortably on top of it.

The airline then deleted the photo of Pilot Parker and linked to a media statement instead.
