Airline Baggage Horror Stories

HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA (AP) -- An airline ruined his guitar and didn't apologize; now he's got a hit on YouTube.

Musician Dave Carroll says his expensive guitar was damaged by United Airlines baggage handlers. He was he was treated with cold indifference afterward. Now, he's getting his revenge with a hit song on YouTube.

Take a look:

The video seems so popular because it's a song travelers can relate to. It's gotten more than a million hits on YouTube in less than four days.

Many travelers have had things stolen.

"Somewhere there's an airline employee with some very nice Waterford champagne flutes that are now 20-years-old," said Thomas de Groot, Colorado.

And many travelers have had to come up with creative ways to wear the same clothes, and underwear, for days at a time.

Airlines aren't always helpful; that's why Dave Carroll ended up writing the song.

"I put it all behind me, and I really have no hard feelings at United, but I really just wanted to have a fun experience with this," Carroll said.
