Satellites in my eye

Two nights ago, the Navy shot down a satellite that was going to crash. It contained a chemical called hydrazine. The Navy said that the satellite needed to be shot down so that the hydrazine would be destroyed before returning to the earth. It is toxic when inhaled, however only one person has ever died from it. Now it is going to form nitrogen gas and water. It did make for a sweet video!
