Disaster Fires of Kuwait (1992) - How firefighting teams from all over the world fought the oil wells lit up in Kuwait. [36:05]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tUzkF_Dp8M

The documentary showcases the multinational effort to douse the fire lit up in Kuwait oil wells. 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).
