BGP with decent filtering, especially of downstreams, could have
prevented this type of accidents.

The way BGP is used right now in wide parts of the "IPv6 world", and 
unfortunately also in many cases in the IPv4 world (no filters, rely 
on "good behaviour" of the peer) is of course widely open to abuse and
accidents.
