Missed ground connection
I missed my connection to Rome in Frankfurt because of a long line in customs. Lufthansa put me on another flight which made me late by 2 hours and my prepaid connection to the port had, of course, left. So, under pressure for time to catch the boat I had to take a taxi which cost 180,00 Euros or 266.70 Cad. Is this collectable from any source?
Best Answer
Your best option for recovering this expense is probably your travel insurance. It likely covers extra expenses incurred due to late or delayed transportation (particularly if you had pre-arranged transportation that you missed).
Pictures about "Missed ground connection"
What happens if ground wire is not connected?
The appliance will operate normally without the ground wire because it is not a part of the conducting path which supplies electricity to the appliance. In fact, if the ground wire is broken or removed, you will normally not be able to tell the difference.What is poor ground connection?
A Bad ground decreases the supply of current necessary for the ignition coil to convert low-voltage/high current electricity in its primary coil into high-voltage/low-current power in the secondary windings. This put excessive strain on the ignition coil, eventually causing it to fail.What will happen to a cord set that has had the grounding prong missing?
Using cords with missing or damaged ground prongs can be hazardous to users. If cords have been damaged they must be removed from the appliance or electrical equipment and must be fixed immediately by a qualified and trained person.What happens if ground wire is not connected to light switch?
The plug without a ground cable is dangerous because there is no alternative path for the charge to escape from the circuit. As a result, the conducting area is under the voltage. You then run the risk of coming into contact with the deadly excess charges that emit from power outlets.How to Fix Electrical Problems in Your Car (Ground Fault)

Answer 2
A friend of mine missed an expensive train connection within Germany after a 3-hour delay of the Helsinki-Munich flight. He contacted Lufthansa and complained about the situation, he got full compensation for the train tickets as well as a generous voucher that he can use the next time he's booking a Lufthansa ticket.
Long story short, contacting Lufthansa and telling about the situation in detail is your best bet. Send a copy of the receipts for any pre-booked connection or the taxi if available.
