That's what insurance is for. The tax payers pay through the nose giving you a place to operate. Sometimes crap happens, live with it.
Say DELTA......Sometime you eat the bird, and sometime, the bird eats you!
OMG, that is hysterical unless you are a stockholder and just realized your CEO was going to throw millions out the window on a loser lawsuit. Stuff happens, move on and get back to making money, Ed. I'm wondering if Big Ed graduated from the University of Fingerpointing in DC, just curious.
Hmmm. let us think about WTC, 1,2 and 7 imploded by two commercial aircraft and then segue to fiasco, a back up unit stored in the same area as the primary unit.... go figure.
Things happen. Like an act of God. That is what most people use for an excuse when Weather etc. gets in the way. I am sure Delta has used that themselves in the past. It’s too bad about Delta and they aren’t going to collect from anyone.They will just have to get over it.
....ok, here's what happened.....a couple of days ago, while passing through the TSA physical abuse area after receiving a surgical clensing from head to toe with explosive reactive handi-wipes and being asked if I was aware that I had a metal bone in my arm I was told that the expresso machine I was carrying could not go through the 'x-ray on a belt' because one of my traveling companions had thought it funny to put a "THIS END UP ONLY" sticker on the side of the coffee maker while I left it unattended outside a toilet stall I was utilizing. Now, since it could not be shipped with checked baggage because it was not enclosed in a TSA approved shipping container with a TSA approved lock (not enclosed at all fits into that category) it would not accompany me any further on my journey. As anyone will attest, the TSA has an outstanding record of returning conficated items, so I said "well, if you're going to get all nutted up about it, just keep it and I'll pick it up in the lost and found on the return trip"....and with a gleam in his eye that would make Santa proud, the TSA guy said "sure"!....Later, I wondered if he gave any thought to the odd looking recepticle when he plugged it in to make some custom Costa Rican brew he'd conficated earlier.
To get a really sharp cup of Joe you need to vaporize the water almost instantly and that requires some creative rewiring of the heating unit along with a some of additional coil packs and a few capacitors and stuff....anyway, it may or may not have been a little more the the airport grid could handle.....sh#t happens just like that sometimes but I hope you all have a Merry Christmas....

Yeah: good luck with that. How many people do you think were compensated when Hurricane Irma wiped out power for most of the Southeast? Think Georgia Power is willing to pay me or anyone else for a refrigerator full of food I had to throw out?
