Reminds me of when Switzerland accidentally invaded Liechtenstein. A diplomatic snafu solved with a bottle of wine.

I had to look this up because it’s hilarious. And it’s happened more than once! How many wrong turns can you make into a different country?

  There is a highway on the border from where there are three exit. So accidentally take an exit to late or to early and you end up in Lichtenstein, because you didn't look at the road signs closely enough.

One example of this kind of space-crash-error incident I'm aware of is when the US deorbited Skylab, it didn't break up the way the models had predicted and several pieces, including multiple oxygen canisters (about the size of a refrigerator each) crashed intact into the Australian outback. Australia fined the U.S. for littering. The U.S. took one canister back, which is on display at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

When I was working at CERN I went for a ride in the morning and discovered a border when coming back. It was on the middle of a road without any markings and the border police stopped everyone in the evening (I think that was because they were looking for someone). I told them I do not have any documents because I did not know that there was a border, they proceeded to arrest me with hancuffs and everything. I was pretty scared but they were just pranking me (it was the actual police). Told me to get better next time :)
