Airline sued for $1 million over lost video game
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI - 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.
How dare US Airways think they can get away with a travesty such as this? First they're irresponsible enough to lose a bag and then they have the audacity to give the run-around to a defenseless Yale student. For shame! But seriously if anything would have happened to my PS2 during the NCAA Football hayday of 02-04 someone would have been getting a cap in their ass.
