Question for "1 Call Ken's" out there.

Say Identifiable Space trash (a Starlink) falls on a house killing someone and taking out the house.

How would the courts handle it?

Would it be US or International courts?
Would it be a US district # due to launch point permit,
or International based on re-entry point?
