The biggest concern with the antenna falling is that it could penetrate

the
freon coolant loops in the radiators that line the insides of the payload
bay doors. That wouldn't be an immediate catastrophe but it would require
the orbiter to re-enter and land at the first opportunity.


Am I correct in remembering each loop (well "door") can be shut off
independently?
