Less than two weeks after we declared having to microblog your travel woes the worst travel experience of 2008, Alex Rydzak Twittered his in-flight Delta drama, reports LAist.

According to Rydzak's updates, here's how it went down:

• 5 hours to los angeles and the I'm home away from home!
• Our plane is stopped on the taxiway they're asking for firefighters or police officers to come to the back of the plane
• Someone apparently "lost control" at the back of our plane. Still sitting on the taxiway
• Police escort to the gate
• "Legal authorities" boarding plane right now
• Captain is out here in the cabin on the phone. Legally cannot let anyone leave until police board
• Police on board
• 10 police officers and several suits onboard
• One man in custody
• Dragged by us in zip cuffs police have not cleared us to deplane
• Just got the go ahead to get off the plane. Now I can finally go pee! Hahahaha! :D
• Guy apparently tried to open the back door of the plane and said something about a bomb. That's a little more than I expected haha
• Oh well I at least I'm here in LA alright and got to finally run to the bathroom.
• This was delta flight 110 from atlanta to LAX.
