Shiloh 12 Posted September 23, 2011 If you see debris the size of a bus hurtling from the sky make sure to take cover. http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/nasa-satellite-debris-might-hit-us/2011/09/23/gIQA5VmiqK_story.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bullethead 12 Posted September 23, 2011 Oh pshaw! It's just 1 itty bitty satelite. Nothing weighing more than 300 pounds is expected to reach the surface and only about 26 pieces in total. Whoop-dee-doo :). Anybody old enough to remember THIS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonL 0 Posted September 23, 2011 They are now saying that it could hit anywhere between northern Canada and southern South America. Way to narrow it down guys ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted September 24, 2011 don't know why people are worrying about being hit by a bus-sized satellite. You're far more likely to be hit by a satellite-sized bus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shiloh 12 Posted September 24, 2011 (edited) don't know why people are worrying about being hit by a bus-sized satellite. You're far more likely to be hit by a satellite-sized bus. Apparently this has hit earth although they don't know where. In the last 2 weeks a water leak fried my laptop, a skunk sprayed my cat in the face and he ran off and is lost, and someone backed into my Jeep while I was at the library so naturally I thought one of these chunks would hit me squarely in the forehead.

Shiloh 12 Posted September 24, 2011 It's been a few tough weeks for sure but that's the way life goes sometimes I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) Shiloh, I guess you had all your bad luck used up, and so the satelite missed you. I hope your cat will return. And that the car driver had an insurance. Here's a laptop sketch to show you: you're not the only one: Edited September 25, 2011 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
