'Modern Family' editor live-tweets drunken passenger's in-flight meltdown
Ryan Case, the Emmy-winning editor and occasional director of ABC's "Modern Family," took to Twitter on Sunday to document the activities of a drunken passenger in front of her on a flight from New York to Los Angeles.
Over the course of more than three hours and 60 tweets, Case chronicled the passenger, later identified as Nadia, as she became so loud and obnoxious, police were eventually called to meet the plane when it landed at LAX.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Airport Police confirmed that a female passenger was questioned by authorities at the gate and released.
Below, an abridged version of Case's in-flight saga.
Sitting behind the worst person in the world.

She was watching Hawaii 5.0 so loudly in her earphones that her seat mate asked her to turn it down. Worst move he ever made.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
She apologized in the loudest, drunkest voice ever "SORRY ITS MY 1ST TIME NOT IN 1ST CLASS" & hasn't stopped talking since.

I want to use mind control to make the flight attendant put tranquilizers in the double rum & coke she just ordered.

I'm tweeting this so one of you will fund my defense team at my eventual murder trial.

You guys, she goes to Vegas all the time and her table is always next to the DJ.

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.

"I feel like in Dubai every car I sat in is a Range Rover." - this girl
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
She said "I have a very racist view of all Middle East." She's talking to a middle Eastern man, also mocking his accent.

I refuse to believe this girl has any friends.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
She just went to the bathroom. My greatest hope is she passes out in there for the duration of the flight.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
I forgot the joy of silence there for a while.
— 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
Her Hawaii 5.0 is back on. May it lull her into the deepest sleep a train wreck has ever known.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
Now she's cackling and clapping at The Mysteries of Laura.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
She's taken control of her seat mate's TV and is making him watch The Mysteries of Laura.
— 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
You guys she just slipped up and revealed she's been married before and is freaking out now in the aftermath.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
Someone married her.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
The guy in front of her just shouted at her. He's a true hero.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
The flight attendant is confronting her abt several complaints made about her and says if she has another incident she's calling authorities
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
She's been asked to stop speaking
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
She's incapable of being quiet, like a toddler but not cute.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
She's confronting the people in front of her again with many "shut the F ups". I can't wait to see her in cuffs.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
Police are meeting the aircraft.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
She's trying to use her phone but she's so wasted she doesn't realize the flashlight is on.
— Ryan Case (@film114) September 29, 2014
