It blew up about 3000 km/hr short of orbit, so thankfully all of it has burned up in Earth's atmosphere already :)
I don’t believe that’s true, some of the debris more than likely made it back to the ground over the ocean. There are weather radars that picked up the debris and they don’t scan super high up into the atmosphere.
You're right, that's my bad. I just meant to say the debris hasn't gone into orbit.
