I'm Surprised More People Aren't Talking About The Space Needle New Year's Eve Fireworks Fail Because It's Pretty Funny
"They just nuked the Space Needle."
The Space Needle in Seattle is one of the most recognizable skyscrapers in the world.
Unfortunately, you couldn't see it during their grand ol' New Year's Eve fireworks show.

I personally like this person's comparison to a "portal straight to superhell."

Luckily, the Washington Emergency Management account confirmed it didn't disappear and was, in fact, still there.
Just checked with the experts and the Space Needle has not disappeared. It really is still there.

A meteorologist explained how this happened, blaming the 100% humidity condensing and creating a fog/smoke combo that turned into smog.
Quite fascinating meteorology occurring in Seattle tonight due to Space Needle fireworks. Moist air (near 100% humidity) is condensing due to the increased nuclei in the atmosphere from the sulfur particles from the fireworks. This results in fog + smoke combo… smog. #WAwx https://t.co/UfSXFJ7id1

I guess it's just not meant to be!
Seattle: “This year we’re going to really knock it out of the park with the Space Needle fireworks. People are going to be talking about it for months!”
