Maybe you didn't read my comment. I was THERE. they DO NOT get this close to the deck. If they did, I'd be thrilled, but this photo is ridiculous. It shows the Angel clearly below the top of a tug boat, even if this angel was twice as high as in the photo, they STILL didn't get that low. There were coast guard boats in the channel that were taller than that tug. The issue is not whether the vapor is real, it may be, but the angels did not get this low, period.

Cool, but definitely fake. I have been there every year and they don't go nearly that low, and they don't exceed the sound barrier during the show.
