Experience the harrowing environmental disaster that was the 1991 Kuwaiti oil fires. Rare footage takes you inside the crisis sparked by Saddam Hussein's retreating Iraqi troops deliberately setting over 700 oil wells ablaze. See the relentless orange blaze engulf the desert. Feel the intense heat and thick black rain of crude oil. #Kuwait, #GulfofKuwait, #InvasionofKuwait, #IraqiInvasion, #SaddamHussein, #OilFires, #BurningOilFields, #PersianGulfWar, #DesertStorm, #EnvironmentalDisaster, #Kuwait, #InvasionofKuwait, #IraqiInvasion, #SaddamHussein, #OilFires, #BurningOilFields, #PersianGulfWar, #OperationDesertStorm, #DesertStorm, #EnvironmentalDisaster, #EcologicalCatastrophe, #GreaterBurganOilField, #SabotagedOilFields, #DeliberateDestruction, #BurntOutWells, #MeltedPipelines, #BlackGold, #OilLakes, #PetroleumFires, #CrudeOilInferno, #ToxicPlumes, #SmokeClouds, #ParticulateMatter, #AirPollution, #OilRain, #AcidRain, #SlickLakes, #DamagedReserves, #CappedWells, #FireTornadoes, #ExplosionRisk, #Wildfires, #Firestorms, #IntenseHeat, #ScorchedEarth, #WellFires, #HellOnEarth, #ApocalypticScenes, #Warzone, #CombatZone, #WantonVandalism, #DespoiledLand, #EcoVandalism, #WarCrimes, #CrimesAgainstNature, #Arson, #SabotageTeams #FirefightingEffort, #Firefighters, #FirstResponders, #RedAdair, #BootsAndCoots, #CappingTeams, #MassiveMobilization, #InternationalCooperation, #ExtinguishingTheFires, #EnvironmentalRecovery, #RestoringTheOilFields, #EnvironmentalImpact, #WildlifeImpact, #EcosystemDamage, #BiodiversityLoss, #Deforestation, #HabitatLoss, #WildlifeEndangerment, #AnimalSuffering, #PlantDieback, #SoilDegradation, #FoodChainDisruption, #ToxinsInFoodChain, #SmokePlumes, #GlobalDimmingEffect, #ImpactOnClimate, #AirQualityDegradation, #RespiratoryRisk #Iraq, #BaathParty, #MEConflicts, #Geopolitics, #OilEconomics, #Petrostates, #OPEC, #EnergySecurity, #NaturalResourceConflicts, #ResourceWars, #HydrocarbonWars, #BloodForOil, #NoBloodForOil, #AntiWarMovement, #MilitaryInterventionDebate #GulfWar, #100HourGroundWar, #AerialBombardment, #ShockAndAwe, #CoalitionForces, #UNCoalition, #GenSchwarzkopf, #MiddleEastGeopolitics, #SaddamInsurgency, #IraqInsurgency, #IraqSurveyGroup #gwot #wmds #operationiraqifreedom #NasaLandsatImagery, #AerialDocumentation, #RemoteSensing, #SatelliteMonitoring, #InfraredMapping, #GIS #GeographicInformationSystems, #Cartography #MapMaking, #SmokePlumeMovement, #EnvironmentalScience, #Kuwait, #InvasionofKuwait, #IraqiInvasion, #SaddamHussein, #OilFires, #BurningOilFields, #PersianGulfWar, #DesertStorm, #EnvironmentalDisaster, #GreaterBurganOilField, #DeliberateDestruction, #OilLakes, #OilRain, #SabotageTeams, #ScorchedEarth, #700OilFires, #OilFireStorm, #IntenseHeat, #ExplosionRisk, #FireTornadoes, #BlackRain, #SmokePlumes, #SlickLakes, #DamagedOilReserves, #OilSpillLakes, #PetroleumFires, #CrudeOilInferno, #MeltedPipelines, #BurntOutWells, #LackOfFirefightingResources, #InternationalHelp, #ExtinguishingFires, #CappingWells, #MassivePollution, #EcosystemImpact, #WildlifeLoss, #AtmosphericImpact, #MiddleEastHistory, #1990sHistory, #WarHistory, #DesertWarfare, #SiegeOfKuwait, #UNCoalition, #InternationalCoalition, #BurganOilField, #Ahmadi, #WafraOilField, #SabriyahOilField, #IraqiArmyInvasion, #BaathParty, #RepublicanGuard, #MilitaryOccupation, #WarOfAggression #EnvironmentalCatastrophe, #ManmadeDisaster, #EcologicalTragedy #GulfWar, #InternationalCondemnation, #CoalitionForces, #OperationDesertSabre, #DesertShield, #USCMarines, #TankBattles, #TrenchWarfare, #MilitaryEngineering, #OilWeapon, #ResourceWar, #PostWarReconstruction, #InvasionAftermath, #BurningCrudeOil, #ToxicFumes, #PoisonedAir #AirPollution, #AcidRain, #RespiratoryIllness, #VisualPollution, #Smog, #Haze, #FireExplosions, #MarshlandsImpact #FoodChainDisruption, #MarineLifeImpacted, #CoralReefDamage, #PersianGulfImpact #FirefightingEfforts, #FirefightersFromAroundWorld, #RedAdair, #BootsAndCoots, #CappingOilWells, #BlowoutControl, #SparkArrestors, #Documentaries, #PersianGulfLegacy, #ModernMiddleEast, #Geopolitics, #GlobalResources, #ResourceCurseTheory, #OilDependentStates #USForeignPolicy, #InternationalAlliances, #UnitedNations, #DepartmentOfDefense, #Pentagon, #CIA, #USArmy, #USNavy, #USMarines, #RoyalNavy, #BritishForces, #CanadianArmy #FrenchForeignLegion, #AustralianDefenseForce #EnvironmentalDisasters, #HumanitarianDisasters, #ManmadeCalamities #ClimateScience, #AtmosphericScience, #AirQuality #FireScience #GettyImages, #CorbisImages, #APImages, #ReutersPictures, #MagnumPhotos, #Photojournalism, #EcoDisasterPhotos, #WarPhotographers, #PhotographicHistory, #PulitzerPrizePhotos #WorldPressPhotos #Documentaries, #PBSDocumentaries, #BBCNatureDocumentary, #EnvironmentalFilms, #EcoCatastropheFilms, #CliFiGenre #ClimateFiction Genre #EcoFictionGenre, #Biopics, #HistoricalPics, #HistoryVids #YoutubeVids #ViralVideos, #BeforeAndAfterComparison, #ThenAndNowPerspective, #GeographicHistory #WorldHistory ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82xkrsOMOMQ
