Satellite smashes Chinese house
A Chinese satellite has smashed into a villager's house on its return
to earth, the country's media reports.
The satellite destroyed the building in Sichuan province, but officials
say no-one was hurt.
A local newspaper printed a picture of a kettle-shaped capsule which
appeared to be about two metres long, lying amid broken bricks, beams
and roof tiles.
The satellite was part of a space probe to carry out land surveys and
other research, Xinhua news agency said.
"The satellite landed in our home. Maybe this means we'll have good
luck this year," the tenant of the wrecked apartment was quoted as
saying by the newspaper.

I knew a guy whose trailer home was destroyed by a wayward cement truck. I don't recall him thinking that such a catastrophic event would bring him luck.
That's the funny thing about it. A satellite busts up your house and it's a good thing. I guess it can't get much worse.
