The probability of anyone getting hit is very small. The probability of a certain person getting hit is vanishingly small. It should, however, produce a nice fireball. Perhaps some people will even find some debris as a souvenir. I can see the headline now "man made satellite debris causes massive forest fire in the last remaining tropical rainforests, paper prices skyrocket as reserves go up in smoke" | ||

They estimated that about 26 peices will make it through reentry. There's a chance multiple people get hit which would make the odds slightly higher than that. Also, while the likelihood it hits a person was 3200 the likelihood that it would damage someone's property is larger. | ||

Or if Osama was still alive and it had killed him.... | ||
