But before we get into how justice was served at 35,000 feet, tell me—where are you watching from? Comment your city below. And if this moment made your blood boil, hit that subscribe button. Because what’s about to unfold will restore your faith in karma. Let’s rewind and see how one woman’s cruelty backfired in spectacular fashion.
