BEIJING : Remnants of China's biggest rocket landed in the Indian Ocean on Sunday (May 9), with the bulk of its components destroyed upon re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere, according to Chinese state media.

Parts of the Long March 5B rocket re-entered the atmosphere at 10.24am Beijing time (0224 GMT) and landed at a location with the coordinates at longitude 72.47 degrees east and latitude 2.65 degrees north, Chinese state media cited the China Manned Space Engineering Office as saying.

The coordinates put the point of impact in the ocean somewhere southwest of India and Sri Lanka.

Most of the debris was burnt up in the atmosphere, it said.

Another HYPE from The US. In the 1960 toll 1990 ... US launched hundreds of rockets for APOLLO Missions, the spy satellites, Military satellites, etc. THOSE rocket fuselage , boosters rockets, etc was EVEN haphazardly drop into the Oceans across ASIA, from Indian Ocean to Sulu Sea . At that time the Tech to Accurately predict the re-entry of DEBRIS was even BACKWARD ! ..... US ..Just want to Hype CHINA Space Race (US has already LOST ) as Being Dangerous .

I am shocked that there were no claims it will land in London, Paris or New York or White House or Pentagon and thereafter US Space Command will launch a preemptive nuclear strike on Forbidden City plus 1,000 other cities inside China.

really?

the resultant radioactive cloud from 1,000 ICBMs of 635 kilotons each will blow over from China to the entire North American continent and everyone in US will be killed too from radioactivity contamination.

yawn!!!
