Russell Crowe slams Virgin Airlines for refusing hoverboards

“Gladiator” movie star Russell Crowe went to war with Virgin Australia Airlines after the carrier refused to allow his kids to pack their hoverboards as luggage.
Crowe went off on Twitter on Monday and vowed “never again” to fly Virgin Australia.
“Ridiculous @VirginAustralia,” Crowe raged online. “No Segway boards as luggage? Too late to tell us at airport. Kids and I offloaded. Goodbye Virgin. Never again.”
He went on to ask, “why did you not inform me when I booked my ticket? Where is your duty of responsibility in this?”
The airline responded: “Hi Russell, this information is outlined in the Dangerous Goods section in the booking confirmation check in.”
Virgin Australia added: “We understand your frustration, however please appreciate that safety is our number one priority.” Hoverboards have become one of this Christmas season’s hottest and most controversial gifts.Faulty battery chargers have led to several hoverboards catching fire, and online retail giant Amazon has stopped selling them, Crowe’s online rant set up him for mockery from other Twitter users, including Australian Joel Creasey who pointed out, “You’re a millionare (sic), babe. Get some perspective.”
Crowe responded to the funny man: “I’m a father Joel, with two kids at an airport, trying to start our holiday.”
