You know when you think about it, this was practically impossible.

>You know when you think about it, this was practically impossible. They were aiming for Jaburo in South America and went off course. Now naturally going slightly off course in an orbital drop will make you veer thousands of miles from your target. Makes sense, that's how it works. But then they go and hit a city dead-on anyway? I'm pretty sure you have a better chance of being struck by lightning twice and winning the lottery in the same day.

What if Zeon were aiming to clear the earth of that wretched island and its inhabitants Aussies, who gives a damn about them anyway. Too bad Zeon only dropped one fucking colony on them. Should have dropped a couple of hundred at the least.

It was karmic retribution from all the shitposting.

>Like, crap man, look at that. That's like Sydney, on the ground back there. You don't see that every day. I mean that doesn't even seem possible if you think about it, with trajectory and wind resistance and friction. I mean I'm no physicist or nothin' but that was like one clean drop.

Moot confirmed for Zabi.

How could they take over Earth if there were still emus? Notice that you never see an Australian animal in space in gundam.

they have purposely dropped it wrong, as a joke

>>14917202
Lore reason: Who knows. Maybe there was a Zeon guy at the controls who, after the colony was deflected/broken apart, decided to kamikaze it onto the nearest large city he could find.

Actual reason: Originally, they'd dropped it on New York City, because you could see the Brooklyn Bridge in the scene. Then they just decided to asspull it and change it to Sydney, and then further asspull it to make it a failed drop. It doesn't make sense because it was never expected that they would actually have to expand on it for future installations in the franchise, 0079 was supposed to be one shot and done.

When was the first time they actually said it was Sydney?

I've seen delusional Zeonfags say that the Federation "intentionally redirected" it to Sydney.

Funny how their are real life dumbass conspiracy theorists even when it comes to fictional stories.

IIRC in the original setting notes and Tomino's novelisation Zeon dropped multiple colonies on Earth ala Gundam X. This may have been the intent in the original series too, notice how fucked up places in Earth are, like New Yark.

It may have been one of those early information books, like Gundam Century.
