I thought I would check with the experts...
Yesterdays initial flight was cancelled due to mechanical problems, next flight was delayed to mechanical problems per US, which resulted in us missing our connection. We were put on a later flight(5 hrs later) which was delayed twice because there was no crew per US. Our flight finally arrived at 2342, more than eight hours after our originally scheduled flight was to have arrived.

So...do you think there is any chance of getting compensation for the huge delay?
