Following Dale's observation
That was my impression too until I went to see the original image:
http://www.daylife.com/photo/0guG4uX12E4bT/Sepah_News

The straight line cutting the smoke at the right side of the truck on
the low res image of the WP page is an artefact of the destructive
comprseeion used (probably Jpeg).

Take home message, image manipulation also comes unwillingly, thus
always go back, to original image!
Cheers
Eric
