The concern is that the tanks containing the rocket fuel "hydrazine" are
the components most likely to survive re-entry through the atmosphere.
Hydrazine poses a danger to people if inhaled. By blowing them up, the
fuel will be burned up during re-entry.

Of course, our all our resident NG cynics will now chime in with the
"real" reason.

Later today, I'm going to go to the post office for TWO REASONS.
Sometimes there's more than one reason for doing something.

I had a bet with myself that you would be the first.

I guess you're right. The only reason to shoot down the satellite is the
issue with its dangerous fuel. Nobody else in government or industry finds
the event useful, important or interesting for any reason whatsoever.
Period.

Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter.
