Dr. Spencer had a blog post about this last week.

http://www.drroyspencer.com/2018/03/chinese-satellite-filled-with-corrosive-fuel-will-probably-hit-the-ocean/
from the article ; "Chinese satellite filled with corrosive fuel will probably hit… the ocean"
Could have radioactive plutonium energy cell ,( maybe they use this in unmanned space probes only.)Voyager 1/2 was launched in "77 has reached the edge of the solar system, with one of this on board, still working transmitting  radio signals to Earth after 40 years.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioisotope_thermoelectric_generator .   Few ears ago, a Russian satellite crashed in NW Canada with one of this devices contaminating a wide area , luckily bushes only;,  multiple heads dragon like moose has been later spotted.
What if this space junk ignored for years passing every 2 hours above USA is Trojan horse EMP weapon ?  would drastically reduce the response time.

Relax.  We have nothing on this puny planet that is going to have an adverse effect on outer space, nor the galaxies beyond.
We are but a mouse turd in a big bag of rice, combined with many more bags.

Kool Aid  :rofl

Let us all put on our tinfoil hats, the reflected energy from government mind control satellites will combine with the government weather control satellites and push the chinese junk away from the planet and into deep space. I read it on dailymail so it has to be true

You can come out of your bomb shelters now. Reentry windows opens at 2200 UTC and is open for 6 hours. This means that N America and Europe is out of harms way as the 4 orbits the space station will cover during that times lies over S America, Africa, ME, Central Asia and  China.

(or rather: Bummer you will miss a spectacular firework that poses pretty much zero risk to humans)

It would be nice if it doesn't have a RTG.

If it does, the shielding for it is likely intense enough to survive to the ground..............provided it rides in the station long enough before breakup to enjoy the aerodynamic drag of the station itself.

If it has a S90 core, I would prefer it makes it to the ground intact rather than leaving a plume of strontium across the sky.

If a "dense and heavy object" from the station departs at a high enough altitude, it will likely burn to nothing.

Havent seen anything about it having a RTG, and I dont see the why it would as its solar panels would deliver the power needed for normal operation.

It actually landed NW of Tahiti.  Which is about 2 Australia widths from the antipode of Michigan, the opposite side of the world.  Good job, it would be hard from them to be more wrong.

This is the Captain.  We have a lil' problem with our entry sequence so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

It dropped in the perfect area so I guess the world survived.
