Look out Nigel! NASA thinks the satellite will come down somewhere between northern Canada and southern South America. Yikes!

What a relief they've managed to pinpoint it.

Yes paul, I am really relieved they have pinpointed the landing ....er make that crashing area! Looks like I better practice ducking under desks. Brian, you may want to do the same!

Although we're apparently not in harms way, it is always nice to know when there is a possibility to see others get into trouble...:
Here's the RSS-feed, so we all would be instanly updated once we have contact ...

"Huge Defunct Satellite Falling to Earth Faster Than Expected"

Ok, who turned the gravity up?

NASA is now saying that the odds of the satellite hitting a person are 1-in-3,200. I'm not too keen on those odds.

I'm going to take those odd at the book makers, I'm going to put £10 on it hitting me. I can't wait to collect my winnings................oh no, hang on.
