SARAH O’CONNOR IS a journalist with the Financial Times.
Earlier today, she tweeted a story about a 21-year-old man who was tragically killed by a robot at a Volkswagen plant in Germany.
Unfortunately, O’Connor’s name is very similar to, you guessed it, that of the heroine in The Terminator.
And as the story was tenuously about robots, the tweet immediately went viral.
O’Connor soon realised the significance of her own name.
But it was too late and she was soon inundated with tweets about Skynet.
And it was out of her hands.
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet

For her part, O’Connor has expressed discomfort about her Twitter success and has called on people not to forget the tragic accident at the centre of this hooplah.
Wise words.
