One Five Ten 70 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 https://twitter.com/katyperry/status/490563400322121728 http://www.take40.com/news/47243/katy-perry-tweets-a-massive-mistake-about-the-mh17-crash. @KatyPerry So INCREDIBLY sad to hear that there were 100 volunteers for @UNICEF on flight #MH17 Sending our prayers to all the families effected Katy Perry has made a massive blunder when sending her condolences to the victims of the MH17 plane crash. The world was rocked by the devastating news of the tragedy, and many celebrities sent out tweets of support and love to the loved ones of the perished. Katy's heart is in the right place - but her facts are very wrong. The passengers included over 100 AIDS researchers, not UNICEF volunteers, who were travelling to Melbourne for the International AIDS 2014 conference. UNICEF swiftly confirmed that none of their staff were on the plane. Katy probably got mixed up as she has UNICEF at the front of her mind, being a Goodwill Ambassador for the organisation. At this very sensitive time, the tweet was met by a lot of backlash, but it still visible on her official Twitter. In this tragic time, our thoughts are with the loved ones of the victims of the MH17 crash. I feel bad for Katy tbh, getting backlash when just trying to wish condolences. But the sis should correct herself before freaking out families of UNICEF volunteers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmm 979 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 It was just a mistake, she was sending her condolences and it's awful that people would bandwagon to hate on her based on that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickMonster 5,896 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 this tweet is a MESS! it sounds like she only gives a **** about those "volunteers", and not about the other victims of this tragedy... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdancy 282 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Erm. People shouldn't be bashing her for this. It's a stupid mistake but she was only trying to give her respect to hundreds of innocent, dead people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodeckDanny 2,229 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 this tweet is a MESS! it sounds like she only gives a **** about those "volunteers", and not about the other victims of this tragedy...

Elizabeth 450 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Whilst I understand it's just a mistake, I'm not sure how she could've confused them? There's been plenty of media about it. this tweet is a MESS! it sounds like she only gives a **** about those "volunteers", and not about the other victims of this tragedy... I'm sure she doesn't mean that but I agree, it doesn't come across well in the tweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
