"AI breaks Sarods"

AI had its own United Breaks Guitars moment now ..

http://indiatoday.intoday.in/site/St...27s+heart.html

A Sarod used by maestro Amjad Ali Khan for the past 25 years was broken by a careless (or sticky fingered, as this article seems to imply) baggage handler.

A picture of the broken instrument, and a weeping maestro, is at http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/i...ow/5446944.cms

AI did the usual - first claiming they werent responsible, and then the AI CEO personally apologizes, after the minister for civil aviation, Praful Patel apologizes.

Only thing bigger they might be able to do is to break one of Yo Yo Ma's cellos if the poor man ever flew AI.
