Yard Sale!!! Iridium 33 and Cosmos 2251 Collison

Very interesting that in Feb 2009 two satelites  Iridium 33 adn Cosmos 2251 collided at a closing speed of well over 15,000 mph at approximately 490 miles above the face of the Earth.  The following video shows the statistical model of how the newly formed yard sale 500 miles up created a mess.
