This is also a part of a war movie, about American Marines in Kuwait/Iraq, they have to pass the oil fields. Who can tell me what the titel of the movie is?
@ienimienieminimie i believe you are thinking about the movie "Jarhead" with Jake Gyllenhall. They walk trough the burning oil fields and it describes the war from a much more psycological point of view, than some of the other mainstream hollywood war movies. a bit depressing movie, but good :P
@SpellboundSolution so thats .. 1.5 Billion Barrels of Oil. Thats 63 Billion Gallons / 239 Litres ! Gone. Not like that did anything to affect global temperatures or anything right ... war is a mess.
Tyrants have a way of destroying the very land and people that they seek out to control.
The more things change, the more they remain the same.
I watched this movie at the Smithsonian IMAX theater in the National Air and Space museum and it was spectacular. You felt like you were actually in the fires of hell because the movie screen is 2 stories high ! Putting out those fires was a monumental task and worthy of admiration. Thanks so much for putting this up. :-)
@0HippyHunter0 Yeah, he ran the world's best amusement park. That part where people had to applaud while family members were being tortured to death before their eyes was the best ride, but the oily slide ride shown in the video was also quite fun. It's a great shame that amusement park got shut down.
Since you've got one of those imbecilic anonymous masks on your channel I'm going to assume you're a troll; I pray for mankind if you're not.
@0HippyHunter0 The sad truth is there are many people in the west who would say what you just did in all sincerity. Look up Poe's Law. And if you've got a really strong stomach take a look at the Huffington Post.
@0HippyHunter0 ye a great leader who shot my grandpa because he insulted an iraqi private who stole his food supply. you dont bother to look at how much pain kuwait went through! i was 10 when he was executed and i laughed my ass off!
@dankvr thats not beatiful ok! kuwait is my country and iraq are burning 700 oil wells every day. SO THATS NOT BEATIFUL, NICE, OR GOOD, THATS DANGRES VERY DANGRES
Economics seem to have been the reason for the attack on Kuwait and the control of its oil wealth. Branko Babic put forward the long tube displacement patents to the Kuwaiti Oil Corporation in London UK, that was accepted and used to contain over half of all the burning oil wells in Kuwait. The best technology designed to contain the damaged oil wells, the metal plugs, was NOT allowed to be used in Kuwait. Babic was not paid a penny of the 100 million pounds, outstanding in patent royalties.
they should have used this for there excuse to crush Saddam rather than there future bullshit war it might have been a better ending
