Are you covered for any space junk falling on you? Considering the amount that's up there, I wouldn't be surprised if cover is excluded by insurance companies.

<< it was tumbling and not under control>>
How can something tumble in All?! Guess our unknown neighbours there would say "it's drifting towards earth".
The map is not available due to heavy traffic. LOL.
I think I'll play lotto now and give fate a choice between the two |

We made it. The junk landed into the ocean near Maldives. I wonder what consequences there will be for China. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.for...-maldives/amp/ |

The 70% chance relates to the planet being covered 70% by water. I don’t think that is the case between 41.5° N and 41.5° S.
If it had come down just a few minutes earlier in would have impacted somewhere between Spain and Egypt along the Mediterranean sea. A few minutes later over India.
Yes, China acted irresponsibly. They need to add the extra hard and software to be able to control the descent. Maybe they aren’t as good as they think they are.
