The satellite has been wandering in orbit in a random path ever since.

Well, no ... it's been in orbit, and like most orbiting rocks it has a quite predictable trajectory.

Stupid reporter....

Agreed. In addition, I doubt very much that the hydrazine will survive the fall. (Or the ozidizer either. Do they still use nitric acid? why didn't the writer make that a problem?)
