My Bag vs. WWII
So this weekend i jumped on a plane to Oakland to shoot a wedding, i missed my first flight so i got onto the next flight 2 hours later. well when i finally arrived in Oakland the baggage handler (wearing gloves) hands me my bag, or what was left of it. Im sure you could measure my jubilation when i asked what happened and she said "oh it was crushed" (under something that i was a little to shocked to remember now). I cant believe this, im definitely calling the airlines for some reimbursement because this big is not going to make it back to Boise in this condition without at least one roll of duct tape...at least. Im sorry to say, but Alaska Airlines, im not really a happy customer, not in the least bit...

wtf alaskan??
This is what i personally believe happened to your bag: It was on the luggage carrier truck from the plane to the airport building, when it fell off (after being stacked carelessly too close to the edge). The driver was waved down by a co-worker to stop and pick it up. Instead of getting out, this person backs up the truck, runs your bag over, decides it's too far under the truck to reach and tries to drive forward not realizing a strap has caught onto a wheel...essentially running it over a couple of times althewhile muttering under his breath,"3 years of flight school for this..." SO you see, what you probably didn't hear the bag-check-person say was "your bag was crushed multiple times under the weight of a luggage-carrier vehicle." Seems plausible, right? I'm sorry, Aaron, but that's messed up.
Geeeeez. It looks like Bowser sat on it.

ouch.....
Dang! It looks like the plane landed on it and pushed it all the way down the runway! That ain't right....
At least you got more than just the handle back...
This doesn't look like something that is actually possible. That's crazy! It kind of looks like they didn't actually put it in the luggage compartment, but in the engine instead.
