A Satellite plunging down to our midst

A week ago, or was it a week before a week ago -- that is, 2 weeks ago, I've read about an American spy satellite that has gone uncontrolled in the outer space and is on its way down to Earth! What's scary is that it's still unknown in what part of the planet will its dangerous debris fall , when exactly will it fall, and if there are indeed toxic substances with it.

So what if it hits my country? I just hope its biggest debris plunges down to MalacaƱang where the greediest and the liars are in full assembly.

What if it hits Palawan? I just hope it makes landfall to any of the homes of those who pretend to serve the province but are in fact selfishly serving themselves.

What if it specifically hits Recaido Road 3 where my apartment is situated and where I am helplessly sleeping or scrolling over my PC keypad just like what I'm doing right now? I just hope Divine Providence thwart it towards Sulu or South China Sea instead. (God, I want a more thrilling and meaningful departure.)

Anyway, to mitigate the harm this broken satellite poses to us Earthlings, the US Navy accordingly plans to shoot it before it re-enters the Earth's atmosphere. Good of 'em. Hope they do it with perfect accuracy since they (Americans) manufactured and sent it to outer space with total inaccuracy (accordingly it has never became operational since its launch).

[ Checking the web, inquirer.net says that if the shooting down of the satellite fails, it will enter our atmosphere on or around March 6! And yes, it does contain 1,000 lbs of toxic propellant! You and me be saved! ]
