Luton Airport has apologized for putting a picture of a plane crash at another airport on its Facebook page. The image appeared for just a few minutes but attracted a number of adverse comments from other Facebook users. 

The image was accompanied by the comment: "Because we are such a super airport....this is what we prevent you from when it snows......Weeeee :)" 

A spokesperson for Luton Airport said: "We apologize unreservedly. The post was wholly unacceptable and it will never happen again." 

The image used was an incident in December 2005 when Southwest Airlines  flight 1248, Boeing 737-7H4 (N471WN) ran off the departure end of the runway after landing at Chicago Midway Airport, Illinois, in heavy snow. A child in a car was killed in the accident.
