You know how people on Pprune hate it when non aviators in the press for example talk utter rubbish about things they don't understand?
How ironic.......
As many have said already, go and read about the things that they get up to. Yes when they hit things it is a mistake, an error.
There is a big difference between an error made by very professional people doing something astonishingly difficult, and the incompetence espoused by the herd on here.
