Reminds me of Francis Chichester running into Australia in one of the BOC
Challenge "Around the World Alone" sailing races. He was asleep below decks
and just ran into Australia. "Damn, who put that there!?"

A B-17 collided with the Isle of Man during the war. They were cruising
at about 1200' MSL over the Irish Sea, and someone forgot about the big
rock in the middle and they slammed into the side of North Barrule.
