Be advised - tonight may be the last chance to see her - the Yanks are planning the first attempt at shooting it down tomorrow morning

It was on the BBC news last night that the attempt was delayed due to bad weather, then a few minutes later "Breaking News" that it had been shot down. They will know if the fuel tank was destroyed within 24 hours.

I wonder if it would have been so important to shoot this down if the Chinese hadn't recently done a Satellite shoot down test?
