Fires of Kuwait (1992)
Synopsis
After Saddam Hussein had the Kuwait Oil wells lit
up, teams from all over the world fought those fires for months. They
had to save the oil resources, as well as reduce air pollution. The
different teams developed different techniques of extinguishing the
fires. From TNT-shockwaves blowing out the flames to Tank-mounted twin
MIG-jet-engines (from Hungary) blasting away the flames (and nearly
lifting the tank into the air), man's emergency creativity can be seen
at it's best.
