My notes from the video:
-Rocket booster is 30 meters x 5 meters -It is tumbling now -orbits the earth every 90 minutes -10 percent chance to hit a populated area. -Its current weight with no fuel etc is 21 metric tons -pieces as large as 5 tons are expected to hit the Earth's surface. (an American pickup truck weighs 2 to 3 tons) -most people on the forum are too young to remember the re-entry of Skylab but it was huge back in the day, on the news every day. This was 40 years ago and it was the largest thing ever to re-enter the atmosphere. This new booster is way bigger.
But it should make for some spectacular viewing as parts of it burn. I hope I can see it.
