Although most of the station's structure disintegrated during re-entry,
many large pieces survived to impact the ground. There have been widespread
reports of property damage throughout the greater Pittsburgh area, but so
far there are no reports of deaths or serious injuries. One large piece of
debris slammed through the roof of a residence and struck its occupant,
Robert Haller, but fortunately the impact was to the skull, so no vital
organs were hit. Mr. Haller was taken to Allegheny General Hospital for
observation, where he is reportedly conscious but babbling incoherently.
According to friends and co-workers, this is Mr. Haller's normal state.
Mrs. Haller could not be reached for comment.
LOL 
I've been sitting here watching NASA TV, hoping for some launch coverage.
Unless I had my times mixed up, they didn't cover it. But mission control
just told the ISS crew that the launch was a success, and wished them a
good night.
Sorry Bob, maybe next time...
