Eclipse totaility contrails: Rich bastards seeing the total eclipse from an airplane.
People pay a fortune to see total eclipses from airplanes, because that's the only way to absolutely guarantee that there will be no clouds between your camera and the total eclipse. So in a lot of cases, the rich bastards in the plane can look down on the cloud-covered ground and snigger at all the poor schmoes who can't see what they see.
Well Salem had completely clear skies and everyone on the ground got a perfect view, so the joke was actually on the guys in the expensive airplanes!
