WTC Plume Visible from Space
2001-09-12 14:15:45
It was one thing hearing that the astronauts on the Space Station could see the smoke plume from yesterday's attack on the World Trade Center. It's another to see the photos.
NASA photos from the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on the Terra Sattelite show the plume of dust and smoke very clearly. It's surprising how far and wide this shroud extends. The cloud goes directly south to New Jersey. Terra is about three times farther up in space than the Space Shuttle; it's certainly no surprise that the cloud would be a naked-eye object to the Space Station workers.

Vacationing from Somnambulant Narrow Realities
So about six months ago, I was chilling in Chang Mai, Thailand with ICBINJ, perursing the Bangkok Times over my banana pancake and Big Chang breakfast when I spotted this article reprinted from the LA Times. It was about some kooks from California (where else?) who were claiming to have been to the front lines in Afgahnistan in mid-December and had recorded the whole feat on their website. "Holy Fuck!" I thought, "Now That's web journalism. Who are these guys!?" (More...)
