VIDEO: United Airlines A Little Upset

The "United Breaks Guitars" video is causing more YouTube fallout. On Tuesda, July 9th, CNN reported on the story and the video. They reported that United reached out to Dave Carroll after only 50,000 views! Guess what? As of July 14th, his video is at 2.8 Million views.

United's official statement was that they were going to use it as an internal training exercise (translation: they were going to try to make chicken salad out of chicken you know what).

If you want to view the actual CNN report, here it is.



And of course, to watch the video that started it all...

United Airlines Breaks Guitars - VIDEO

From a guy named Dave Carroll comes a video that levied justice against a major airline that no doubt thought they could squash him and his complaint like a bug. If United really broke his guitar, Carroll has a legitimate beef if he wasn't reimbursed.

As someone who knows a little bit about guitars, the Taylor name can only be found on the top shelf when you're looking to add to your collection. Assuming this is a true story set to music (minus the sombreros), I'll bet the guitar United broke was probably around $2000 (low end).

With over 1 million views on YouTube, my guess is United now wishes it had dealt with Mr. Carroll honestly. Justice has officially been served.

Echoes of David & Goliath with Carroll playing David, United Airlines as Goliath, and YouTube is the stone between the eyes of United. He even NAMES NAMES!!

Truly an underdog story!
