Yale student sues airline for $1M over lost Xbox

CINCINNATI (AP) - A Yale University student from Ohio has filed a lawsuit seeking $1 million from US Airways for a video game console he says was taken from his luggage.

Twenty-one-year-old Jesse Maiman alleges that during a flight from New Haven, Conn., to Cincinnati in December, his Xbox 360 with a specialized hard drive disappeared from his luggage.

Maiman says he got what he called "an unconscionable run-around" from the airline. He's asking $1,700 for the loss of the gaming system and for the maximum damages allowable, or $1 million.

Maiman filed the suit Monday in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court.

A US Airways spokeswoman said the airline was unaware of the suit but noted that the government limits liability for lost luggage to $3,300 per bag.


I didn't know DUmmies attended Yale.  Must be some sort of diversity program.   :whatever:

Why didn't he take the hard drive out and carry it in his carry-on if it was so valuable?

On the 360 you can't remove the hard drive but it's small enough to be carried in the carry-on luggage. Why didn't he do that?

Probably because he never took it with him in the first place.

I'm betting he did and he was too stupid to think that just MAYBE it might be better off if he brought it in a carryon.
