New 4K version is here: youtube.com/watch?v=HK6F3Oio6L8 A video with a number of world "firsts". First fire tornado ever recorded with a broadcast television camera, first ever recorded in HD, first ever to isolate the sound of a fire whirl in the wild and the first one recorded on a tripod. Even today, it remains the only fire tornado vision with those combined elements. Captured by chance by TV cameraman Chris Tangey on September 11 2012 at the remote Curtin Springs cattle station, Northern Territory, Australia. ©Chris Tangey
