There was a drone that had a new return home failsafe mechanism (for when there's low battery or some fault etc). Unfortunately it was possible to misconfigure it so that home was not set and the failsafe was still armed. This led to several drones perishing in the Atlantic as they bravely tried to fly home to Null Island.

An old mmo, Star Wars galaxies, when it first released back in like 03 or 04, had an issue where, over time all the player-built buildings would slowly drift towards 0,0 of whatever planet they were on.

Not nearly as impactful as your example, but amusing I suppose.

In ARK: Survival Evolved items would simply vanish from inventories and end up.on the ground at 0,0. Tamed di osaurs would disappear from a sealed enclosure, only to be found standing right there at 0,0. :)

is there a link to this?? hilarious to see images or smth like
