U.S. space officials say they expect a dead satellite to fall to Earth in about a week.

NASA scientists have calculated the satellite will break into 26 pieces as it gets closer to Earth. The odds of it hitting someone anywhere on the planet are 1 in 3,200.

LOL - ouch, I expect the chances are that most (if not all) of it will end up in the sea. :woot:
The worst thing it could hit would be an airbourne commerical airliner! :o wonder what the chances are of that...

Not that likely, probably, since they said that they'll know the approximate area where it'll fall within 2 hours before the thing falls. I should hope 2 hours is enough for air traffic to be alerted/diverted. If there's one industry that can never be too careful about safety, it's definitely them.

Go out and see if you can catch it on your tongue, like a snowflake.:hmmm:

You think they could aim it for somewhere empty - like Australia:D
