Heads Up - Chinese space lab hurtling back to Earth

Just saw this on ABC news, Tiangong-1 (as featured in the movie Gravity) is out of control and hurtling back to Earth.

Cheers
Bill

EDIT: Sorry the one in the movie is a futuristic version of this one.

If it comes in at the right trajectory we might have a new leader in North Korea, one can only hope the poor people there have no exit strategy from the "rocket man"
