Malaysia Airlines has to be the least self-aware company on the planet.

It added to its list of social media misstep last week when it tweeted the following: “Want to go somewhere, but don’t know where?”

The airline said the post “was intended to inspire travellers to explore deals offered.” Instead, it reminded people that it still doesn’t know where Flight 370 and its 239 passengers ended up. Flight 370, which was flying from Kuala Lampur to Beijing, disappeared March 8 and has still not been found.
