An awesome video about one of my worst nightmares. It's had over 466,000+ hits in the 3 days it's been up.

I'm not a country music fan, but that's a good clever song. I'm not sure why the rest of the band is dressed up as Mexicans though.

This might turn out to be a blessing in disguise if the song "takes off".

Looks like a Gibson Hummingbird used as a 'stunt-double' for the grisly Taylor scenes…
So what happened to the ‘vic’?

Heard it reported by the BBC this morning. Close to 4 million hits and counting...

United has coughed up $3000 to charity - result! :D

Forgive my ignorance (I've never flown with an instrument), but aren't you supposed to use a special "flight case" when checking your instrument on to airline baggage? They've been around for as long as I've been playing which is like 25 years now. Not trying to be a troll, genuinely curious.

Not as much of a result as I first thought - apparently the 'charity' that got the cash is headed up by one of United's directors, who by coincidence is the same person who has the final word on where all of United's charitable donations get sent. Hmmm.... :evil:
