Chunks of the massive Chinese rocket that recently took an uncontrolled plunge back into the Earth’s atmosphere narrowly missed hitting New York City. A bit of the spacecraft about the size of a small bus splashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of West Africa. Some of the space junk also appeared to have landed in a town in Cote d’Ivoire. In November 2019, one of China's rocket boosters dropped on a Chinese village, spewing toxic fuel and smashing at least one building.
