Yale student sues airline for $1M over lost XboxCINCINNATI (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.
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 didn't know DUmmies attended Yale. Must be some sort of diversity program.
