A pilot with the Turkish airline Anadolujet was fired in September after he left the cockpit to use the bathroom and left the controls of the Boeing 737 in the hands of a 15-year-old boy, the British newspaper the Mirror reported.
In January, a 21-year-old German traveler who thought he was flying to Sydney, Australia, to visit his girlfriend ended up instead in Sidney, Montana, after misspelling the destination when booking his ticket online.
It was, according to Reuters, the second time in two years a German tourist had made this mistake.
