Journalists are such idiots.  I can't recall the last time I read an article that was written with proper grammar.  I also can't recall the last time I've read an article in which the same thing wasn't endlessly repeated.  I suppose they find themselves at a loss for words so they just repeat themselves.

I've been following this for several days.  Early on we were told that it was 'gonna fall down go boom'...when asked to be more specific , like, where's it gonna hit they told us.

Earth.

Well duh.

Best I can tell from reading MANY articles (all of which read as if written by a dyslectic person with autism who's mother language is not English) that it's done deal.

The Chinee 'space station' (giving it MUCH more credit that it deserves) re entered over the South Pacific and pretty much vaporized.  No word yet on whether an whales were kilt.

"more" here.

_toxic Debris_..that would be [Hydrazine]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrazine)
*   Hydrazine is a convenient reductant because the by-products are typically nitrogen gas and water. 
*   a colorless volatile alkaline liquid 

oh LOOK...a new wurd..._Volatile_: a substance easily evaporated at normal temperatures

keyword...NORMAL temperatures.  The heat developed during re-entry is a little bit higher than normal...like..about 3,000 degrees F.   

Dunno...is it just me or would it appear that something that vaporizes at NORMAL temperatures (and turns into nitrogen and water) is likely to vaporize at 3,000 degrees and be pretty much gone before it impacts?

I dunno...pretty technical concepts..
