Some of the fragments that are ejected tangentially to earths orbit will likely be threats themselves when the earth passes through that space one year later.

Although, I expect the experts who propose this would suggest that the fragments will be too small to cause serious damage

They will enter the moon's gravitational pull and form a big, beautiful ring system that will be visible from Earth.
