A 23-ton Chinese rocket will fall to Earth Friday. But when and where will it land?

Summary by Ground News

A huge hunk of Chinese space junk is expected to crash back to Earth on Friday (Nov. 4), but nobody knows exactly where or when it will come down. The Long March 5B rocket launched the 23-ton Mengtian module to the International Space Station. The reentry of these 21.6-metric-ton core stages comprises four of the six largest uncontrolled reentries from space during the last 50 years. The individual risk to any single person is extraordinarily low, about 6 per 10 trillion.
