Satellite Debris Showers Over Pacific
If a satellite crashes in the Pacific and no one is around to see it, did it really happen?
Alas, poor UARS, we barely knew ye. But thanks for not landing on my house.
A defunct 6-ton NASA science satellite plummeted into the atmosphere early Saturday, showering debris most likely into the Pacific Ocean.
No injuries or damage from falling satellite debris had been reported on land, which NASA officials said was a good sign the satellite went into the ocean.

Good to hear it went down over the Pacific! Imagine what could’ve happened if it crashed on land? D:

Everyone was so worried despite the world being made of 3/4 of water, statistically speaking it was bound to fall into water. Hopefully it didn’t harm any oceanic ecosystems though:/
