This ISN'T a forum game. Quit the useless spam banter.

Would prefer it to hit Plymouth. What actually is the point of Plymouth?

I'd imagine the satellite will just hit a large expanse of water and no one shall know anything about it. Most will probably have forgotten about it by then anyway. Nothing terribly interesting.
xD, We're all gonna die ... The sattelite'll hit into some island causing it to collapse into the water triggering a catastrophic release of energy resulting in the biggest tsunami ever recorded bringing with it a host of natural and ecological problems killing millions and leaving the earth in a useless waste heap. Then, Cloverfield'll come and wreak MORE havoc ... AND TOADS WILL BECOME EXTINCT! (No, pun intended Sixty) AND THE Common man will rule the EARTH.
No but seriously, if the satellite doesn't burn up upon re-entry of the earth's atmosphere, there could be a possible problem if the satellite hits the suface of a body of water with enough force. We could be looking at a possible super-tsunami ... O.o

I've read books about this. The moon is actually sending projectiles at us to drive its point home and lobby for its independence. Damn Loonies.
In all seriousness, I had taken a rather "ho-hum" standpoint to this before I read about the beryllium. That would certainly suck. I'm hoping they manage to work out where it might impact before the end of February, so that proper evacuations can be made and sustained.
Of course, we're two-thirds ocean. Whatever happens, I'm willing to put money on my faith that the splashdown of a spy satellite will have less of an effect that the Skylab mentioned further down in the article.
As for whatever secrets people might be able to garner from the steaming wreckage of a satellite... Good luck and fair trails to them, I say. I think I was more scared while the spy satellite was still hanging in the sky like King Damocles' sword.

Like how flood insurance doesn't cover the levies breaking after Katrina.
