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?

Probably, since they quoted a different de-orbit time than really happened.
