In a few days, the Chinese space station Tiangong-1 will fall out of orbit, burning up in Earth's atmosphere, but space authorities still don't know exactly where.Read more: http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/chinese-space-station-tiangong1-1.4593386Tiangong-1 was China's first space station, launched in 2011, and visited just twice by Chinese astronauts. In 2016, the Chinese space agency announced it was no longer tracking the 12-metre by 3.3-metre eight-tonne station.
China says it has lost control of the station and there is no way to know where it will re-enter the atmosphere.
Most of the space station will likely burn up during re-entry, but there's a slight chance that pieces of it may reach the ground.
Below you can watch a simulation of the re-entry by the Aerospace Corporation, which is tracking the station.
Round and round and round she goes, where she drops nobody knows! Well they've got a rough guess. Where do you think it will fall? I'm going to bet into water but I'm just playing the odds. Pacific if I was forced to choose one (it's the biggest).

Hi, I found some acronyms/abbreviations in this post. This is how they expand:
yeah exactly as you said
it gonna fall in the ocean but can't guess which of them
satelite can be a space garbage which move very fast. if it crash with another satelite can damage it. the garvity will pull nearer and nearer into the earth. in the atmosphere it will burn but still leaving material. without control satelit can fall in to the earth ungess. it's lucky if satelite fall into the ocean, especially in Pacific Ocean which the largest water. It can make big wave and earhquake, but if it fall in the land with a lot of people it make bigger disaster.
So, goverment must take the responsible to avoid the disaster
