Time-lapse videos are a dime a dozen these days, but once in a while something unexpected is captured. In the above video by E Kital on Vimeo, a simple time lapse of Montreal turned into something much more dramatic when a fire broke out in the old city. As reported by NBC News, the blaze lit up the night sky and provided some eerie contrast against the serentity that's usually core in a time lapse. It's a great unique perspective on a very unfortunate event.
