Australia seems to be a magnet for space junk.

Unfortunately that doesn’t appear possible...but perhaps crashing into Houthiville could occur.

From the ESA website:
In 2011, ESA retired ERS-2 and began the process of deorbiting – and now it’s time for this pioneering satellite to reenter the atmosphere naturally and start to burn up.
"Naturally" lol
I guess that sounds better to the masses than "uncontrolled." It's natural! And natural is good! Masterful degree of euphemism.
Can a trucker that falls asleep at the wheel use that as a defense? Why, it wasn't that I was no longer driving the truck, it's just that the truck was driving along "naturally" before it crashed...

I think that was an old estimate that hasn’t been updated. And it was Eastern Time.
