I've not been able to find any photographic evidence that supports this.
This photo from different angle shows dust being dragged down from the spire just prior to its collapse.
These two photos by Greg Semendinger show the spire.
Dust is clearly streaming from the spire, but I can't find any evidence that all the dust was stripped from the spire before it collapsed.
