Cities along the northeastern coast of the US have been blanketed in a thick yellow and brownish smog due to wildfires raging in Canada.
Hundreds of wildfires are currently burning in the Canadian province of Quebec - with winds carrying smoke from these fires as far south as New York and Massachusetts, which has veiled the cities' iconic buildings and resulted in millions of Americans wearing facemasks as air quality decreases.
New York-based Irish Star news editor Laura Colgan snapped pictures and video of the thick smoke, which has left the city that never sleeps covered in a blanket of yellow-grey smog that has made the east coast look appear like a dystopian film.
