american airlines and others are notorius for bad poor and outragiously inept baggage handling. This time it was clearly their fault. in past i had bags boxes radio inside and other damaged badly by smasing. i one time witnessed a handler giong through the screening process of check bag pick up bag and toss it down with force. i lost what was inside. they said we dont cover electronics and ahve a list of things they dont cover or take up for. This time it was their fault as they took my carry on luggage, i had made s ure to carry on to not lose what was inside. Video camcorder , and a expensive juicer. to my shock when i got to the gate, packaged in a plastic lined cooler that looked like wheel on luggage with artilary proof inside, i was told there was no more room for carry ons. i could not think fast enough but pushed the words out. ill take the next flight . i was rudely told they were sold out. in a state of shock, fearing for worst , i goton board and left my bags wtih them. i said this is not made for check in. i said it had to be taped shut. they took my bg and i did not see it for four days after . it was first lost, then given back to me in shambles of tossed and rough handled bags in a plastic bag where my bag was turned upside down handed to me with things falling out. I was in shock and then found out my camera was in side pocket of the bag and smashed to not work ever again. it was new and i nevre got to use it for the films i was giong to take and participate in a film festival i waited years to get to. My whole reason for being there was gone . i was left in jamaica for three months with no way to take film and i reported this bag missing day one, at landing and then reported damage when i saw what took place. I made a damage baggage report and stated that the camera i had though was lost was actually inside a side pocket zipped and when i went to go pull it out to use it. i saw it was beyond repair smashed. they refused my claim months later. " stating that it was not properly packaged . LOL. i was given no way to package this against gorrilas carlessdrug addicts handling bags in one flash second nor could i find a alternative then give up my child at gate to them. I now am going to file a class action law suit against them and personal one, to claim thousands in damages..or million in emotional abuse and distress. this is clearly an airline that could care less about people but your money. My bags your bags or loss is of no concern to their wrecklessness.
