Quite the opposite. Back in the day you would've had to login dozens if not hundreds of routers individually to push the change, and it likely would've been caught after screwing up the first one. This is the result of SDN (software defined networking) and being able to push a change globally from one command.
I recall major ISP's screwing up their routing tables in the past but never globally on this level.

(this one isn't clear, maybe BGP hijacking, and if so, not sure who the responsible party was) https://www.catchpoint.com/blog/vodafone-idea-bgp-leak https://www.catchpoint.com/blog/vodafone-idea-bgp-leak (not sure how major this one was) You can practically search ISP bgp outage and get news about the last couple times they screwed up BGP and caused a big problem. Or service BGP and get a 50/50 chance of the service screwing up BGP or an ISP/country hijacking their routes and causing a big problem. BGP is one of the best ways to break things at scale.
