The comment left by Albertuk is absolutely classic. Reposted here in case it gets deleted;

Be nice if it landed on Dale farm but the odds of that happening are too great , would make the job of reporting the crash of the sat to Earth a lot easier cause the media are there already .

Remember seeing one burning up in the atmosphere, it was amazing like a gigantic firework. The traffic stopped and everybody was looking at it, of course had no idea what we were loooking at until the media reports.

And a UK team studying the trajectory says the most likely time for re-entry could be after 23:00 GMT Friday, and as late as 03:00 GMT on Saturday.
