But back to the OP...

There are plenty of signs of mankind on the night side of Earth. Lots and lots of artificial light sources.

And the smoke from the WTC was photographed from space, though I don't know if it was naked-eye visible.
I do believe it was photographed by either the space shuttle or ISS. I think it was ISS. Anyway, IIRC, the smoke, when it was, at first, heading away from New York, I think it was seen as far south as, I believe, Virginia or even North Carolina! Amazing. And, from what I've heard, the rubble is still smoldering, at possibly temps reaching 1400 degrees F!
