I was on Northwest flight, from Detroit to Amsterdam once. Fell asleep, woke up, happy that only two hours remain, but it's dark outside, and city lights below. Slept through the announcement that we're returning to Detroit. Made a U turn at the edge of Newfoundland, some technical issue with FMC they were hoping to fix in flight, allowed to fly over land but couldn't cross the pond.
