Reply to comment by KillerBees16 in Lessons of Darkness (1995) - In 1991, retreating Iraqi armies set fire to hundreds of oil wells in Kuwait, creating a hell on earth. Werner Herzog explores this nightmare world, and the people who existed within it. [00:54:12] by _volkerball_

I think it's because they wanted the oil to burn up instead of pool up everywhere for clean up purposes but I can't remember. "Fires of Kuwait" is a documentary about the cleanup that goes into all the nuts and bolts of it.
