During the Entry time frame, the satellite passed over the Indian Ocean and parts of Asia (Myanmar and China). USSTRATCOM predictions had estimated re-entry to occur after the perigee at ~2:00 UTC for a crash just south of Chongqing, China - the largest city in the world. If ROSAT actually hit land will be announced later when more data has been analyzed.
