That low risk of injury — about 0.02% — takes into account the fact that water covers about 70% of Earth’s surface. So, any parts that survive reentry will likely splash down in the open ocean, not land in or around a city.

The satellite has the aerodynamics of a barn. Virtually everything will burn up and it seems likely that all the Earth will get is a little satellite dust.
