Some more quotes:

"After today’s blunder you immediately start wondering if this has happenend before, a world champion missing a mate in one, and I think the answer is no."

"34…Qe3 was probably the worst move ever played by a world champion. "

Reshevsky famously missed a mate in one as have several other top GMs. Stein, I believe, Geller I think is another. Several GMs have 'walked' into mate in 1 or 2.
