Pieces of space junk from a Russian satellite coming out of orbit narrowly
missed hitting a jetliner over the Pacific Ocean overnight.

So would the Russians been culpable for downing the Chilean airliner
if their "Russian Roulette" flight had been impacted by the Russian
space debris?


Yes, that was decided by treaty some time ago - your country launches it,
you are responsible for what it does.

But, five miles = "narrowly missed"????????
