Making the most of the airplane Wi-Fi, Case began tweeting her frustration when the female passenger objected to another passenger's request to turn down the sound coming from her headphones while watching Hawaii 5.0.
For the next three hours, the intoxicated passenger, known as Nadia, proceeded to tell onlookers it was her "first time NOT in first class" and confessed her love for Las Vegas and David Guetta as well racially taunting her Middle Eastern seat mate.
The ordeal clearly riled the Emmy-Award winning editor, who fired off 60 tweets in quick succession during the American Airlines flight.
Police spoke to Nadia upon the plane's arrival.
The incident evoked memories of the time US TV producer Elan Gale live-tweeted a passenger's argument with airline staff because she was going to miss being with her family for Thanksgiving.
The series of tweets about "Diane" were later proven to be fake.
Here is how Case's sky-high commotion with an obnoxious passenger went down.
It begins
Sitting behind the worst person in the world. — Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
Realising it's going to be a very long flight
I want to use mind control to make the flight attendant put tranquilizers in the double rum & coke she just ordered. — Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
I'm tweeting this so one of you will fund my defense team at my eventual murder trial. — Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
She missed her intended flight and ended up here. She has a window seat and I'm in a middle. The universe has wronged me. — Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
The racism begins
She said "I have a very racist view of all Middle East." She's talking to a middle Eastern man, also mocking his accent. — Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
She's listing all the things she wouldn't be allowed to do in her seat mate's country. She should go there if the list includes speaking. — Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
The drinks are flowing
97th time she's asked "YOU DONT DRINK DO YOU?!" — Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
I can hear her trying to beg the flight attendant in back for something, undoubtedly world peace. I'm kidding it's vodka. — Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
Nadia takes it too far
Police are meeting the aircraft. — Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
We land soon and I hope I can get a pic of her in cuffs to end this saga. — Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
Loud phone call. Surprising. pic.twitter.com/WzoK0ApyDy — Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
4 cops are with her now. — Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
The end
Not to be too Nadia about this, but I wish Abdul could have a stiff drink right about now. — Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
