Chinese rocket to come crashing down to Earth at unknown location - BBC News

Debris from a Chinese rocket is expected to fall back to Earth in an uncontrolled re-entry this weekend.

Various space debris modelling experts are pointing to late Saturday or early Sunday (GMT) as the likely moment of re-entry. However, such projections are always highly uncertain.
