'There will be no new causes of aircraft accidents' How long ago was that written?

Not to jump to conclusions but unfortunately I think you can read the limited information and come to a conclusion as to one of the contributing factors as to the cause of this one. RIP to whomever was involved.

So how does this airplane depart Baudette, Minnesota for Roseau, Minnesota, a track of about 280 degrees but end up on a track of 360 degrees and 45 miles into Canada? Crossing an international boarder?

Crossing an international border with no intention to land is not a big deal. I do it regularly. Believe it or not, airplanes are capable of flying routes other than GPS direct.
