Chinese Satellite Smashes Home
A local newspaper printed a picture of a kettle-shaped capsule which appeared to be about two metres long, lying amid broken bricks, beams and roof tiles.
The satellite was part of a space probe to carry out land surveys and other research, Xinhua news agency said.
“The satellite landed in our home. Maybe this means we’ll have good luck this year,” the tenant of the wrecked apartment was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
Smashed house = good luck. I don’t think that will be the case in China.
In America, yes — there would be a line of high-powered attorneys lined up for the chance to sue the government, quasi-governmental agencies, and even the private contractors that made the crostostinators that went inside the beveled chromium flagilators that may just have contributed to whole thing spinning out of control! (or at least that’s what they would convince the jury of).
But in China, I’m thinking no.
