"By all accounts, Washington’s Fourth of July fireworks were spectacular, if you could actually see them. Many people could not.

The fireworks and lack of wind created a towering wall of smoke so thick that it not only ruined many views but also caused Washington’s air quality to plummet to worst in the nation. In parts of the District, the pollution was likely “as bad as India/China at its worst” tweeted Dan Goldberg, an air quality researcher at George Washington University.

Within minutes of the fireworks exploding into the sky, smoke filled the air above and downwind of where they were ignited (behind the Lincoln Memorial and at West Potomac Park). A lack of wind allowed the smoke to collect, building a giant wall that partially or completely obscured views between Southwest Washington and downtown, including along the Mall."

This explains what I saw on the Capitol Fourth show.  It looked incredibly smoky and hard to see the fireworks. [/quote]
