Remember that spy satellite that was going to fall out of of orbit, and could cause other contries to gain control of our military inteligence? Goods news, it got shot down today. Bad news, a fuel tank carrying toxic fuel might have been hit, which could cause serious illness if it lands near any inhabited area.

Try reading the article next time. They intended on destroying the fuel tank. That was the entire point, so it didn't land intact...

^ Indeed.

Anyway, we should receive news soon if the tank actually was hit. I'll be on the look-out for an article. (It looks like it was.)

According to what I heard, they hit the tank right on. So that's good.

Although I'll still be looking for debris, just in case... !_!

Oh. I was reading it quickly, mainly just skimming over it.
