The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency have both made preparations for the satellite’s imminent arrival, as the expected landing zone covers around 500 miles stretching from Northern Canada to the southern end of South America.

[link to www.seattlepi.com] Pentagon studying debris of destroyed satellite for toxic fuel Read more: [link to www.seattlepi.com] Even before the missile launch, some international leaders and critics in the scientific community suggested it was a thinly disguised attempt to test an anti-satellite weapon -- one that could take out other nations' orbiting communications and spy spacecraft. They also said the U.S. was worried that allowing the errant satellite to fall back to Earth by itself would mean larger pieces might survive re-entry, opening the possibility that secret technology could wind up in the hands of the Chinese or others. Within hours of the reported hit, China said it was on the alert for possible harmful fallout from the shootdown and urged the U.S. to quickly release data on it.
