One of these times, NASA is going to screw up and crash-land something like this right ontop of a mid-sized midwestern town. They may be the smartest guys in the world, but in my opinion they're not smart enough to be sending objects crashing towards the earth at 11km a second.

Terminal Velocity for the Probe = 162 kmh
or
45 metres per second.
If anyone could make some something go 11km/second then I would imagine that they would probably do whatever they wanted to given that kind of destructive power.
