Aboard the international space station, U.S. commander Frank Culbertson and his two Russian crewmates watched in horror as lower Manhattan burned. Culbertson documented the drama with a camcorder from 240 miles high.
"As we went over Maine, we could see New York City and the smoke from the fires," he told NASA's Mission Control in Houston, Texas.
"I hope that the people responsible are caught and brought to justice as soon as possible. But first our prayers and condolences to all lost."
