The Latest & Greatest IFE: Live-Tweeted Breakups

Misery loves company: a passenger’s live tweets capture the messy and very public end of a relationship on a recent flight.

Forget the in-flight entertainment; passengers on a recent journey from Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) were treated to live action drama when a man dumped his girlfriend as the plane sat on the tarmac. As if it wasn’t enough that the break up was overheard by the entire cabin, Kelly Keegs — who was seated adjacent to the couple — decided to tweet the saga in real time.

As soon as the blow was delivered, the woman was quoted as saying, “Great. JUST GREAT. I’m so glad I paid 40 extra dollars to be on this f******* flight with you.” From there, Keegs’ relayed tweets become more fiery:

The uncomfortable incident reaches a new peak of intrigue when the girl, as tweeted by Keegs, says:
