Elephant takes on travel bags in the name of durability

Watch in awe as this 10,300-pound elephant takes on a series of selected name brand travel bags to test their durability.  It took 14 minutes to crack open a $545 Tumi; eight minutes to open a $218 Delsey; one minute to open a legendary $240 Samsonite, and twenty minutes to open a $99 American Tourister; and the $320 Victorinox was found to be uncrackable.  Though this is by no means a scientific way of testing a bag’s durability, it is interesting to find that some of the lesser expensive luggage bags survived longer than the expensive ones.
