Just returned to the atmo where it burned up.

Actually, it's estimated about 200-250kg could have survived re-entry and is now somewhere at the bottom of the South Atlantic.

That is pretty impressive sensationalism there, always impressive how media (in particular newspapers) can add 1 and 1 and get 17.
