Out of control Russian spacecraft may strike London

We were just watching the movie Gravity last night, now this.  This Russian spacecraft was due to dock with the ISS to resupply their food, etc. but got out of contact after undocking with its rocket. Link: http://qz.com/394183/an-unmanned-russian-spacecraft-is-spiraling-toward-earth/   

Will pass by the Philippines (of course) but the chance that you will be it by it is 1 in 7 trillion :)  Most of the spacecraft will heat up once it enters the earth's atmosphere due to friction, then it will burn and disintegrate but large fragments may survive burning and strike the earth's surface, most likely the ocean.  You can track the spacecraft at the link below.
