British Airways went into damage control mode and tried to sort the situation out. However, instead of fixing the situation, they made it even worse. They asked for Sachin's full name in a tweet so that they could rectify the situation. Amidst a massive backlash from twitter users, the tweet was removed from the British Airways's twitter timeline but several users had already retweeted. This is one instance:
