[QUOTE=JXZ;44872497]why's it purple[/QUOTE]
Infra red light. Digital camera sensors can detect infrared light. And seeing as there is a lot of smoke, its probably obscuring the majority of the visible light from the fire, only letting the infra red through.
Experiment you can do to show this:
Try getting a TV remote, pointing it as a camera in a very dark room and taking a picture whilst mashing buttons on the remote, it should capture a faint purple light.

That's a lot of fire
[QUOTE=JXZ;44872497]why's it purple[/QUOTE]
yeah, I thought blowouts were red as well
Holy shit, they're passing a burning car by 1:05. They should get a hint from that.
Wow at around 30 seconds the guy starts to pull over and it sounds like the woman in the car is saying to him "are you a fucking idiot?" or something
Kinda pretty the way the camera captured it but seriously dangerous.

Needs more Black Sabbath. :v:
Honestly though, I would floor it the hell outta there.
Probably not good for their lungs.
Jesus, they're lucky the engine didn't stall out or something. Can't imagine there's a lot of oxygen at that level.
Lucky the fire wasn't extremely intense. I remember a couple of years ago in the Australian outback there was one road to the next town (other than a 1000km detour), there was a large fire burning out of control in summer, dense bushland on each side of the road, and my god was it hell. Nothing like a forest of eucalyptus trees on fire, it's a total inferno since the trees are actually flammable and can actually combust on their own in sunlight when it's quite hot. We were fine driving through it, though. Just sort of gave the car a new "singed" look.

If there wasn't much oxygen, there wouldn't be much fire. Yes it would be consuming a lot of it up, but it's generally safe if you're out in the open like the OP's video. Apart from say, the tires on the car catching on fire if you go too slow.
The music and purple fire made me think of FC3: Blood Dragon until the lyrics started. It's [I]the aesthetic.[/I]
I find that strangely beautiful.

I thought cameras (DSLR's at least) had an IR filter in front of the sensor? Maybe they're only partially effective and in a dark room the IR goes through it

Never used a digital camera that couldn't see at least a bit of infrared, although it's always showed up as red for me.
These things ain't no fucking joke. 2 Neighboring departments were responding to one of these wildland fires, and both lost their trucks when the wind completely changed directions.

They literally had to run for their lives through that shit to get to safety
and to get an idea of how hot it gets,
the [i]fucking diamond plate melted away[/i]
the date on their camera is wrong

Everyone knows fires are hot, but you don't realize how hot until you see a vehicle's carcass after a fire, up close. All the plastic is gone, the glass and headlights have melted away, most the aluminum melts off. That includes bumpers, wheels, engine parts, etc. Then of course the whole interior is made of flammable bits so its all hollowed out..all you really end up with is the steel frame and some wires.

yeah, most digital cameras (web cams included) have an IR filter - as you say, they're only partially effective.
