United Breaks Guitars - CNN Situation Room - Wolf Blitzer

In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and Dave Carroll's Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. He discovered later that the $3500 guitar was severely damaged. They didnt deny the experience occurred but for nine months the various people he communicated with put the responsibility for dealing with the damage on everyone other than themselves and finally said they would do nothing to compensate him for his loss. So he promised the last person to finally say no to compensation (Ms. Irlweg) that he would write and produce three songs about his experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world. United: Song 1 is the first of those songs. United: Song 2 has been written and video production is underway. United: Song 3 is coming. Can't wait to hear them!!!

They won't use it as a "learning experience". They're just trying to get everyone off their backs. They'll still be stupid.
