There is a subtle distinction between "up in flames" vs. "up in smoke".
The first carries a sense of sudden consuming loss, and with it a tragic, horrific sense .
The second carries a sense of something that has possibly been "smouldering" for a while, so that failure is not a total surprise; it therefore carries not so much a sense of tragedy or horror, as of sadness and futility.
