I recall seeing news reports that light posts 100s of metres away had been knocked down. It could very well be that they were aiming low, got too low, over corrected back up, and overshot it. Or it could have been something else entirely.
I have very limited piloting experience, but maintaining a window of a few dozen feet above the ground is enough of a challenge; never mind in-experienced pilots trying to avoid other ground obsticals like light posts, etc.
