A space station may soon be falling on you
China has confirmed it's Tiangong space station will fall back to earth between now and 2018.
The Tiangong-1 space station has been orbiting earth for about 5 years. After it was recently decommissioned the Chinese astronauts returned back from space.
Normally a decommissioned satellite or space station could be forced burned in our atmosphere.
Unfortunately this re-entry will not be controlled, which hints at possibility of damage on the station. While much will be destroyed in our atmosphere, there is still potential debris could hit a populated area and slightly worrisome.

Wow!! Great post!! Keep posting such posts good luck!
It's a possibility, but small chance and hopefully any debris is only small, causing little to no damage somewhere remote.
At some point, one of these things will cause some damage and then people will pay more attention to them. Until then, where's my tinfoil hat?
Yikes! A bird crapped on me the other day, and now this? Come to think of it, I believe it was a Chinese bird!
