The title of this post is misleading and inaccurate. The original title was "GOCE gives in to gravity". Further, the post says: "GOCE satellite reentered Earth’s atmosphere on a descending orbit pass that extended across Siberia, the western Pacific Ocean, the eastern Indian Ocean and Antarctica." While this may seem like a rather wide area, there's still a very good idea where the debris re-entered. "No idea" is very far from the truth. Given that it is known which orbit it fell on, that already excludes most of the Earth's surface area. What is left is a narrow, sinusoidal line (the ground track), which is a rather good estimate where it fell. As far as I know, there are no better observations (ie. radar tracking) available, but we've still got a decent estimate.
