The flight paths are planned specifically so any potential debris has a high chance of landing in the ocean.

If it actually exploded (either on its own or because the flight-termination system kicked in) most of it should burn up on reentry though.

What happens if it doesn't explode and they just lost control over it? I'm mostly curios of the risks at that altitude.
