MSP-bound airplane goes silent, overshoots airport

I've done that

 

I was driving down the interstate one time with my knees, texting people and talking on IM on my phone, and realized I was in a field.

 

Yeah, but by ending up in a field, you finally had somewhere to throw all your empty Pepsi bottles and cans.

 

GODDAMN YOU I GET DEPOSIT MONEY ON THOSE! I would never throw them in a field.

 

Yeah, I've done that, too. But in a cockpit there are indicators that essentially tell the pilots (provided they are in a state to see and read them), Hey, it's time to land.

 

I've never fallen asleep while piloting a jumbo jet...

But, when I was 16 (and sober), at night, I remember seeing Mile Marker 45 on I-64 in Illinois, outside of St. Louis. The next recollection I had was seeing Mile Marker 7 near East St. Louis. Also, the tape I was listening to had played through to the other side, yet I had my memory of hearing the songs of "Rolling Stones, Hot Rocks Part 1".

20 years later -- to this day, I have no idea what the hell happened that night except that I was wide awake after that for the last 25 miles. Terrified. Didn't tell a soul.
