No, it's an accumulation of 6 billion lots of 1 in 19 trillion.

The chance of any part of this hitting any person on the planet is 1 in 3,200. Your personal chance, or that of any other individual is thus 1 in (this chance)*(population of the planet) - or 1 in 3,200*6,000,000,000, which is 1 in 19 trillion.

Hmm... I say it's 50/50... it either hits you, or it doesn't... but then I did the mechanics module of A Level maths, rather than the statistics module!
 
According to BBC website, they're saying between 11pm GMT (nowish) and 3am GMT Saturday for re-entry.

I'm fairly certain it's landing in the middle of the ocean somewhere. I can't help but picture a huge satellite in some farmer's field and him having no clue that this is happening.
 
What about the comet Tomorrow ,Predictions (Nothing will happen ,earth quake in some country ......etc)
