At the moment, every continent except Antarctica has some favorable ground tracks.

The 100 ton space station was in Earth's orbit from 1973 to 1979,

Increased solar activity, heating the outer layers of the Earth's atmosphere and thereby increasing drag on Skylab, led to an early reentry at approximately 16:37 UTC 11 July 1979. In the weeks leading up to the reentry, ground controllers had re-established contact with the six year old vehicle, and were able to adjust its attitude for optimal reentry dynamics. Earth reentry footprint was a narrow band (approx. 4° wide) beginning at about [show location on an interactive map] 48°S 87°E / -48, 87 and ending at about [show location on an interactive map] 12°S 144°E / -12, 144, an area covering portions of the Indian Ocean and Western Australia. Debris was found between Esperance and Rawlinna, 31–34°S, 122–126°E. The Shire of Esperance fined the United States $400 for littering, a fine which, to this day, remains unpaid

With the Earth being only 25% land mass most of this falls harmlessly into the oceans, but even so, I don't think a single human has ever been killed of injured by falling man made debris.

They don't know...
Looks like nasa dropped the ball on this one.

The final hours of the large chunk of space debris are being closely tracked by NASA and the U.S. Space Surveillance Network as a precaution.
