Feds to question attendants of wayward jet

On Wednesday night, a Northwest Flight 188, an Airbus 320 carrying about 144 people flew past the Minneapolis airport while on the way back from San Diego, California. They missed the airport by 150 miles, and did not respond to any of the radio controller’s responses for 78 minutes. Once landed, the pilots were given a breathalyzer test, but both blew 0.000. One of the pilots said that neither of them was asleep, and that they were not having an argument. On the other hand, the other pilot said they were in a fierce argument. With no answers coming out yet, the FAA says they are going to interview and question the flight attendants; they are also going to review the recordings in the black box that contains 30 minutes of recordings. Fighter jets were launched in fear of a high jacking, but called back after reconnecting with the plane.

I think that it is unbelievable that with the technology that we have in planes in this day and age, that without being asleep or drunk or something, there would be no way to miss your target by that far. I think that both pilots should be punished, and have their licenses revoked for a long time, if not forever. They endangered their passengers lives, and put the government in a tough spot with the fighter jets, luckily the drastic measures were not taken.
