Question - 492

Complete the blanked out headline. The front page has other news articles unrelated to the question as well. Wikipedia tells me the blanked out part is now used as an idiom as well though I have never heard it used.

Answer: The headline hails "wrong way Corrigan" - who "mistakenly" flew from NYC to Ireland instead of to California. However, he had on several occasions applied for permission for a cross-atlantic flight only to be denied each time. Though he maintained that the whole thing was a mistake till his death, it is likely that he knew all along where he was headed. Raghu, Karthik, Mekie, Manix, Ramji, Krithi, Kamal Rathi and prasanna got it. Well done.
