Reply to comment by TheBroadHorizon in Why don’t we use Venus as a dumpster? by Postnificent

So the ISS will just burn up? That’s why it can just fall out of the sky over New York with no consequences? There is a lot of stuff up there you don’t want falling on the roof where your kids sleep.

Large objects like the ISS are deorbited in a controlled fashion which ensures they burn up over the ocean away from populated areas.

Not always. Things fall, things are destroyed, people are hurt. It happens.
