Tiangong-1: Live Watch the Fall of the Chinese Space Station on Earth
China's Tiangong-1 space station has been falling apart for a while now, and most of it is likely to collapse on Earth on Sunday (1). Calm down, no need to worry, the smaller fragments should be incinerated on reentry and the larger ones have very little chance of hurting anyone. But where is this machine without a brake? The Verge folks have listed several sites for you to follow the fall live.

The site shows a projection of the path the station should take and where it is currently on a constantly updated map. Includes potential reentry points based on information from the United States Strategic Command, which specializes in tracking space debris.
European Space Agency
The European Space Agency's Office of Space Debris maintains a daily blog with Tiangong-1 altitude data and accurate re-entry information. The page also has several answers to frequently asked questions about the subject.
Aerospace Corporation
The nonprofit provides space mission guides and research and is a great source of data for all types of space debris. She created a website especially to follow the fall of Tiangong-1, with details about the vehicle, its current location and where it should fall - with animation to illustrate the whole thing.
Chinese space agency
Short and quick description of the current location of the space station and projections of where it should fall.
Several enthusiasts also follow the event and offer their expert opinions on microblogging. Two of them are Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and a space debris researcher; and Marco Langbroek, called the "satellite hunter, " who pokes his finger at constant updates.

This shows the track of # Tiangong1 over the uncertainty window of the current JSpOC TIP window (1 April 00:52 UT + - 15h). It should come down somewhere on those lines.
