    I can assure you that there will be a few US subs around that place.

      The satellite has thrusters, small engines used to position it in space, that contain the toxic rocket fuel hydrazine. Hydrazine can cause harm to anyone who comes into contact.

      The satellite, known by its military designation US193, was launched in December 2006. It lost power and its central computer failed almost immediately afterwards, leaving it uncontrollable. It carried a complex and secret imaging sensor.
      I'm hoping the "complex and secret imaging sensor" will land intact in my back garden, and I have a can of air freshener handy for dealing with any hydrazine.

        If it does hit land it'll be on eBay shortly after.

          Russians, save millions of rubles on trying to find top secret US Submarines, just ask AtW, he knows where they all are.

            Step 1: hack US satellite to drop it into the ocean at predetermined location
            Step 2: wait for subs to appear at where it is going to drop

                They're not quite sure when or where it will hit exactly.

                But you know the telephone box on the corner of Hammond Rd ?

                Don't use it at 13.52 on the 3rd of March
