Based on the title of the post, I thought BA had lost 11,000 pieces of luggage.
But the story is about 7,000 pieces left on a tarmac to get soaking wet, and delayed delivery to the US, due to faulty equipment, cancelled flights, and poor decision-making.

Ah ha!!! I'm never checking luggage again...
p.s. my luggage that got soaked is now ruined - I can't get the mildewy smell out of it. All shoes were ruined also. Airline will be seeing large bills in their future - they ruined a Zero Halliburton suitcase...

BA managed to soak everything in my luggage right through. As far as I could tell, the only "problem" they had to cope with was a heavy downpour. The luggage made it onto the plane and the flight took off on time.

Wow, I'm impressed that they ruined a Zero Haliburton. (They are those aluminum suitcases that are often seen briefcase-size handcuffed to spies in movies.) Anyway, they're supposed to have a gasket and be waterproof, mine certainly looks it. Perhaps you could get some satisfaction/reimbursement from them, too?
