Still, it's too soon to tell where it will crash. It's something that the U.S. space agency and the German space agency, who are monitoring ROSAT's re-entry, won't be able to tell until hours before re-entry.

That would be fitting. Actually a Greek satellite crashing into Brussels would be more accurate.

lol what is that newscaster saying about a scorching hot ring that surrounds the earth at about 0:45??!!
Does he mean reentry? The craft skids on reentering the atmosphere due to viscous drag, as he sad it's going at orbital velocities about 5miles/second...

That made me lol 'scorching hot ring around the earth', where do they come up with that kinda shit.

I bet he thinks wind is made by trees flapping their branches.
