Something weighing over 8,500kg fell out of the sky this week. As you can imagine, that’s not an object you want slamming into your head. Or anyone’s head. What kind of damage would it have caused had it fallen on, let’s say, INA Market in New Delhi? You can imagine that too. Luckily, that didn’t happen, nor did it hit any other human habitation. Instead, it sank into the waters of the South Pacific.
Or actually, it mostly burnt up as it tore through our atmosphere. But certainly some parts of China’s Tiangong-1 spacecraft survived re-entry to hit the waves and sank to the bottom of the Pacific. Source
