British Airways Plane Bound for Germany Accidentally Lands in Scotland (bloomberg.com)

The plane was not bound for Germany, it took off intending to go to Scotland and indeed went straight there and landed. The pilot was given the previous days schedule by mistake. A simple mistake that no doubt caused consternation to the passengers and great embarrassment to the airline.

The plane did not 'accidentally' land in the wrong place. The headline makes it sound like the pilot turned left instead of right and was surprised to be in Scotland instead of Germany.
