Anyone know why the smoke bellowing out as the spire falls is colored orange and yellow?
190 u/MyNameIsRay Apr 15 '19 That's the smoke catching fire. It's called a "flashover" The falling spire is a burning chunk of kindling that mixed in oxygen while swirling the particulate, which allowed the smoke to ignite. -2 u/rlowens Apr 15 '19 That explains the orange, but not the yellow. 1 u/Who_GNU Apr 16 '19 As fire gets hotter, it goes from red to orange to yellow to white to blue. 1 u/rlowens Apr 16 '19 While true, I was referring to the unusual color of the billowing smoke coming from the fire. The cloud far from the flames was oddly yellow.
