Astronaut dropped tool bag on earth

NASA astronaut during a space walk last year was expected to reach the earth surface on Tuesday. Initially, the tool bag was expected to reach the earth on July 25, but then scientists recalculated the date a "mini-Apocalypse". However specialists could not say where exactly this would happen.
"Tools faor work in outer space are made of specila high-alloy steel, that is why ist is quite probable that some fragments will not burn in the earth atmosphere, but will reach the earth surface," said a space industry expert.
However, according to statistics, the majoprity of debris and space garbage burn as they enter the atmosphere of our planet, the specialist said. So, it is expected that entire tool bag would burn up upon re-entry.
