Timelapse Shows Plane Taking Off Into Orange Skies Above SF

San Francisco was blanketed by an apocalyptic orange sky last week due to the smoke from wildfires across California. This 24-second time-lapse shows what it was like to take off from the city and climb into the thick smoke layer.

The images were captured by Alaska Airlines flight #3458 as it took off on the morning of Wednesday, September 9th, on its journey down to Palm Springs.
