A tweet claiming that EasyJet had introduced "backless seats" in its flights went viral on Tuesday, garnering 3.9K retweets and 5K likes and propelling the airline's name to the top of Twitter trending.
So, has EasyJet really allowed backless seats on its flight? According to their spokesperson, the answer to that question is a categorical no.
"How can this be allowed," asked original poster, Matthew Harris, who is, per his Twitter bio, the president and CEO of smart trade show event company Konduko.

EasyJet told Mashable that the woman pictured in Harris' first photo was not permitted to sit in the "backless" seat, which was actually just a broken seat awaiting repair.
"No passengers were permitted to sit in these seats as they were inoperative awaiting repair," reads the statement.
