Yale student sues airline for $1M over lost Xbox

[Shadows]

21-year-old says he received ‘an unconscionable run-around’ from carrier

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, Connecticut, 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, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer newspaper. He's asking $1,700 for the loss of the gaming system and for the maximum damages allowable, or $1 million.


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.

So if I understand correctly, the million is because of the run-around the airline gave him regarding the whole situation?

In that case, way to stick it to the man. lol

Unless the hard-drive had some school stuff on it, he's being greedy. Actually even if he did have work on there, he's being greedy.

^^what about the emotional and psychological damage this kid has suffered over not being able to play his Xbox?

 

[masta247]

There's no amount of $ that would recompensate the time spent with my precious xbox :love:

 

[S O F I]

That's how the system works at the advice of the lawyer. The lawyer knows it's not going to happen but it gets the process started.

Wii is awesome. House Of The Dead ftw.

Poor people are humble and want to live an "honest life;" everything we have we work hard for. The rich already have and they will do anything to get more; their greedy!

IMHO, that's what rich people tell poor people to keep them poor so they are happy working jobs that make the rich richer, and what poor people tell themselves to convince themselves they are happier without money.

Can't tell me the poor wouldn't get rich if they had the chance to..
