Haven’t a few space stations like Skylab and MIR decayed enough in their orbits to come crashing into earth?
And the Shuttle is much larger that a bus.

Not only hollow, but the walls are pretty thin. The ISS would not burn up quite as thoroughly as the Skylab did. Oddly enough the only large piece of the Skylab that made it to ground was a fiberglas tank — I’ve got a chunk of that certified by NASA and attached to a poster of Skylab, given as a gift for memberships of the Space Society back then.

Yeah, but they were hollow and made of aluminum foil, not solid iron.
