With technological advancements in onboard navigation and satellite precision, you would be forgiven for thinking that all planes, unless an emergency occurs, land at the right airport. However, Ryanair shows it is still possible to deposit passengers at the wrong airport.
Ryanair's scheduled flight from Liverpool to Derry in Northern Ireland, got somehow waylaid when the pilot ended up landing at a military base a few miles away from Derry. There was no apparent onboard emergency for the surprise landing, just a huge error in judgement by the pilot. According to Ryanair such a thing had never occurred before in its 20 year history.
