SpaceX is making it look simple.

Here is a relevant nasaspaceflight post: https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=43347.msg1711816#msg1711816
And here is a link directly to the map: https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=43347.0;attach=1442033;image

I don’t know how much debris survives reentry.
