China and science, now there is an opurtunity for a large scale screw up.... think China flu, social engineering (one child only male), aircraft carriers, building cities with no people
With the chicoms, I never take anything at face value.

Don't forget Islands, building islands.
So actually it is a bomb of sorts. Just how uncontrolled is that reentry and more to the point will HO insurance cover if it hits a house?

How much highly toxic crap is left onboard?
It doesn't have to hit you to cause problems.

They CAN'T shoot it down. It's already COMING down

Hope in one hand $hit in the other see which fills first. No plan, WTF they should have at least 3 plans on what to do, what a bunch of numb nuts.

I'm not sure I'd call it a "bomb" big heavy falling things don't have to have explosives to cause significant damage.
Heck check out "Meteor Crater Arizona" kinetic energy made that hole.
I very highly doubt Homeowners insurance would cover anything damaged by this. But feel free to call and report back what they said in the interest of public service to the group here.
Well hell I'd send you a roll of good tape and a bottle or gorilla glue if it hit your house.
BUT...I'd make you sign a promise not to use the gorilla glue as Hair Gel.

US Stratcom's latest coords supposedly are: 38.1N, 62.5E Otherwise known as Turkmenistan, but error is still rather high so it could drop anywhere over there if just a few minutes off.
Or anywhere else if it skips on the atmosphere...
Tomorrow night ought to be interesting...

Meteor Crater in Arizona was the result of a huge meteor-borderline-asteroid. The Chinese rocket is a tiny fraction of what it would take to create a massive crater. The other way large craters can form is by having relatively small objects hit a planetary surface at incredibly high speeds. That won't happen in this case as the rocket's remains are light for its size - as all rockets are - and will not be aerodynamically efficient. Our atmosphere will slow it down appreciably.
If the Earth didn't have its atmosphere, its surface would be pockmarked like the surface of the Moon from meteor strikes.

Thank you for taking the time, I didn't want to explain that, some people's eyes glaze over.

I get that all the time. You just need to be firm in your mission, and keep on explaining just as if they were interested.

It could hit Chicago around 41st parallel.....

Or...it is carrying the real bio weapon.....enjoy.
Unwanted. We'll pass.
Last time I checked, Chicago still hadn't been annexed by Canada.

Yes, EVEN Chicago doesn't want to be in Canada.

And people spotting it will be able to see in a split second or two if it was accidental or not.
bw

Nothing about the reentry or impact will tell anyone whether it was accidental. Bright lights, big bang, no evidence for the bystander.

WELL, kinda sorta depends.
The ONLY folk who MIGHT know would be the folk who are currently watching it with radar and who MIGHT have the ability to have radar guided cameras (equivalent to the launch cameras) so they can SEE the reentry attitude and make some back of the business card calcs.
But in a REASONABLE Intel framework WE the People will never know either way.

OH and BTW, the discussion about " 'shooting it down' ya can't shoot it down it's already COMING DOWN" is pretty lame.
The only thing that could be done (And it's reasonable as a discussion point) is to break it up into little pieces, by, actually, letting an Aegis tin can have at it and blow it to smitherines.
With THIS Nat' command Authority, don't make me laugh. FIRST they all have to find their OWN butts with 2 hands (with or with out assistance).
Their OWN butts mind you, not their best friends' butt.

That is right, I have read awhile back that they have the tech to calculate coordinates/speed, etc. and actually aim and bust it up more to cause less damage/deflect, in situations like this...if they WANT to employ that tech.

Hence "no evidence for the bystander".

In other words, they can't shoot it down. Is there an echo in here tonight?

Depends on how many layers of sheetrock are on the outside.

Well, depends on definitions. I suggest that they CAN shoot "down" into tiny chunks.
Not if they want as much as they can get of it, to see where the chicoms are with their tech.
If I knew it was going to land in Ohio, I'd parrot the CCP with their message not likely to harm anyone, then I'd scoop it up out the corn maze and gleen what intel I could while picking up non-interesting bits and say that's all there is folks!
