- SATELLITE CRASH ALERT
- -----------------------
-
- A four-ton satellite was hurtling towards earth a few months ago - and
- experts didn't know where it would land.
-
- Space debris normally burns up as it descends, but the craft is so
- big it probably survived.
-
- It split in two and the odds were that both sections would crash into
- the Atlantic or Pacific.
-
- The largest piece, the size of a car, should land safely in the sea.
-
- The Chinese satellite, with a diamond-encrusted Chairman Mao medal on
- board, went out of control ten days after launch.
-
- Sorry about the split paragraphs, but I copied this article from a
- newspaper. Rumours are that the satellite went out of control as it
- hit an Irish submarine. Ha-ha !!! Oh yes, and I'm not going to admit
- that the whole reason for typing that out was just to crack a feable
- joke like that. Oh no....
-
- Wah piffle....
