This post seems to be older than 15 years—a long time on the internet. It might be outdated.

0New York City, seen by one of the Expedition Three crew members onboard the International Space Station (ISS) on September 11, 2001. The image shows a smoke plume rising from the Manhattan area. The ISS was flying at an altitude of approximately 250 miles. The image was recorded with a digital still camera. (NASA)
