Prank? I could make the pieces in no time. A few pieces of scrap metal and a torch will do wonders! Each with a “Certificate of Authenticity”.
If someone really did (or tried) it wouldn’t surprise me.

I plugged my current San Diego coordinates into the Heavens Above site and updated the URL with my coordinates with their UARS tracker.

Fine with me . . .
. . . as long as the debris only rains down on Planned Parenthood Clinics and ACORN Offices.
(I know, I know, it won’t happen but just the thought of the lamestream media trying to explain it tickles me.)

It is supposed to leave a 500 mile long debris track on the way down. It is also supposed to have a nuclear power supply. Potentially a "dirty bomb" consequence if the contents leak as it breaks up.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. The CoA would be the icing on the cake! LOL!
Next thing you know NASA would send in its own SWAT team to recover it! LOL!

Not with Federal property. Try bringing up any piece of a sunken US Navy ship and see what happens.
To: Myrddin
The 300-lb chunk (Guess what that is?) is expected to land intact.
I wonder why, now, the US Governemnt has announced that any piece hitting the ground is US government property, and they will rapidly collect it?
Yeah, there are some rare metals aboard. Plutonium, irridum ...
If it hits your land, take a photo and get out of dodge. Take your dogs with you - they will likely not survive the impending SWAT response.

Why...that 6 1/2 ton satellite could actually gain weight after landing.

This could not be considered an ‘Act of God’ by an insurance company. It would be no different than an aircraft crashing on your house. They owner of the aircraft is responsible for your damages, you just ask the the insurance company to subrogate the claim.........

as usual, they have no idea when or where it will happen. none, zip, nada. Just like global warming and hurricane predictions. My guess is as good as thiers. They don't have a clue. My faith in any scientific predictions becoming reality is long gone.
