An attempt to interact with its Twitter followers imploded this weekend for aerospace company and weapons manufacturer Lockheed Martin.
In a now-deleted tweet, Lockheed put out a call for “an amazing photo of one of our products” Wednesday morning to be featured on its World Photo Day celebration Sunday.
But perhaps the timing could have been better.
On Saturday, CNN learned that the 500-pound laser-guided MK 82 bomb that killed 40 children in Yemen earlier this month was produced by Lockheed Martin. The company has a major presence on the Space Coast and is also a leading U.S. defense contractor.
