Well... this is what Delta Airlines did to my bag.

On October 18, 2010, I flew home from Las Vegas to Victoria.

Because my tickets were with Delta (wasn't my choice), I had to fly to Salt Lake City, then Seattle, then Victoria.

Somewhere in there, Delta baggage handlers put one of my bags onto a surface that was VERY, VERY hot.

As a result... well... they "cooked" one of my bags - and it was two days late for me getting it back.
(picked it up on Wednesday October 20)

There are four pictures and three videos.

Video #1 is 19 MB so it will take some time to load, Video #2 is 3 MB and Video #3 is 7 MB.

Horizon/Alaska Air were the carriers for the last part of my trip - they have been great from start to finish.
Unfortunately, based on the air carrier's agreement, Horizon/Alaska Air is the one that ends up paying for the damage done by Delta... which Horizon/Alaska Air has done without question, or hassle.

I wish I had the talent of Dave Carroll, and the Sons of Maxwell, that did United Breaks Guitars.
