China confirmed in 2016 that it had lost contact with Tiangong-1 and could no longer control its behaviour, so we don't really know where it will end up.

The European Space Agency (ESA) said re-entry "will take place anywhere between 43ºN and 43ºS", which covers a vast stretch north and south of the equator.

Oh nooooo!!!!!
I'm 38ºN!!!!!


Imagine the irony if it landed on the White House Lawn! Kerrang!!
What if it knocked over The Trumpet Great Wall? Kerrash!!

That'll finally give Herr von Trumpet something real to Tweet about!
Who would he ring? The police? Nah. The fire brigade? Nah. Xi? Nah.
Immigration? Check! ;-))
