Microsoft Sues DHL Over Xbox-Busting Train Crash

By Gizmodo US Edition on October 12, 2008 at 3:30 AM

Microsoft is suing delivery service DHL for their refusal to compensate the boys in Redmond for the destruction of over 21,000 Xboxes in a Texas train derailment. The consoles were due for Hong Kong when the train, carrying two large containers of Xboxes, went off the tracks, sustaining a substantial amount of water and impact damage and, interestingly, “pilfering.” Microsoft is seeking $US2 million in compensation for DHL’s negligence. That the phrase “fiery train wreck” is missing from the report makes me think it wasn’t as exciting as it could’ve been. Imagine the headlines! [PC World]
