Remember those old Samsonite luggage commercials where they'd show their stuff getting horribly abused and talk about how it could take the worst kind of pounding?

Well, I was browsing around on YouTube recently and ran across something that reminded me of them. It's a clip of baggage handlers at O'hare airport loading luggage onto a plane. If you've ever wondered why it is that your luggage looks the way it does after flying somewhere then you really need to take a look at this video clip.

Seems that there was a really good reason for Samsonite to go to all that trouble to make sure their luggage could take a major pounding! Honestly, I think the folks at Samsonite could use a clip like this in a new commercial just to show that "luggage abuse" really does happen!
