Well the chances of it landing in an unpopulated area is very good. Oceans, seas, Uninhabitable regions, Antarctica Those cover a good portion of the Earth. We'll be fine.
Let's hope it doesn't crush more of Antarctica's (little bit of) ice....seems things are looking bad there.
It'd be good if it crashed in a desert. Least bit of damage that way...I think.

Describing it as a 5 ton satellite crashing down to earth isn't very accurate; from what I've read elsewhere, most of it will burn up and the biggest part that will actually hit will be around 300 pounds. It'll suck if it hits you directly, but otherwise it's nothing amazing. xd

A 300 pound object hurtling at 5miles per seconds (300mph) toward you. Ya, in the crater it creates, your body parts will be all around and they'll go oh poor Fred, he didn't know what hit him.

I was lol'ing at the waving idiots in the background.
I hope it just lands in the ocean though.

I don't think it'll be traveling that fast once it enters the atmosphere.

It better land in the more deserted areas where towns and cities won't be harmed, hopefully. I don't think anyone wants to lose their home whether human or animal because of something like this.
A lot of it would probably burn up when entering the atmosphere, so it's at least not too much to worry about unless it hits inhabited areas.

Indeed, it won't. The key here is
terminal velocity. It could reach such speeds if the object were aerodynamic, but it probably won't be. A chunk of Skylab did hit some remote part of Australia and could be used for comparison, but I'm unable to find any photos of the impact crater. :<

Breaking news, mysterious cases of people being sent to hospitals due to holes in their skull, more at 11.

Wasn't really a crater, just scattered pieces strewn randomly about.
