Anything is possible but it looks like the flight path was changed intentionally from the few crumbs of info we have. A major mechanical issue and course change without a distress call???

a lot more highly trained people have done a lot dumber things when presented with crisis situations.

how many hunters get lost in there own woods every fall in broad daylight?
