I'm Not Sure I'm Buying This Story

Do you really think they were just looking at work schedules?
Those two Northwest Airlines pilots who overshot Minneapolis by 150 miles last week told investigators they were engrossed in their laptops and "lost track of time."

The flighty flight crew members said they were checking new work schedules on their portable computers as the A-320 with 144 passengers aboard drifted beyond its destination on autopilot, the National Transportation Safety Board said.

Well, I'm guessing they won't need to worry about those work schedules ever again.

UPDATE: From Andrew Malcolm:

They were probably engrossed in watching porn and couldn't be bothered watching the planes instrument panel.
