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.

Host Danny Forster visits the world's tallest twisting structure, Kuwait's Al Hamra tower. Al Hamra's innovative twisting design and complex cladding enable it to combat Kuwait's harsh desert conditions like no other building. This massive feat of engineering features 2000 tons of limestone, advanced curved glass panels, and is capped by a 17-story open restaurant with amazing views of the Persian Gulf.
