I don't know, let's look at some common odds....
Dying in an aircraft or plane crash: http://planecrashinfo.com/cause.htm How about from a host of things: http://www.blog.joelx.com/odds-chances-of-dying/877/ Ever hear of people dying in a place crash? Those are some pretty high odds, but it certainly happens.

I had a co-worker who used the same sort of thinking to justify his buying tickets to the Lottery...
"Somebody's got to win it, it might as well be me" Another co-worker stood up and said: "Give me your dollar". She walked over to the toilet and flushed it, and said: "Your odds are better finding it again at the treatment plant." |

Yeah, but what are the odds of finding $50 million dollars at the treatment plant, huh?
(Answer: not as bad as they were, now that there's a person flushing everyone's $1 bills down their toilets for them...) |

Just put on a helmet and hunker down in your closet.

PDX news media is all a twitter. The space station is supposed to pass over the city in about 25 min (from WSW towards the NE).
Does anyone have an extra helmet ? |

Nothing...
Slight overcast and city lights so only brighter stars are visible. I thought I saw a shooting star, but it was from E -> W |

Listening to the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 this morning they reported that it was down 'somewhere between Canada and Russia' which was a trifle vague, but within a few minutes they had eye witness reports from two people I think in North East Scotland who each reported seeing large fragments going overhead toward the east. Russia? Home to popa?

I heard Canada too, but it was on 5 Live, so the same BBC source effectively.

Phew. There is space junk that weighs considerably more than me.
What? You take your pleasure where you can find it!

They can put a man on the moon but they can't track space junk.

I had some big nets out. Was hoping to catch a windfall profit.
