A Boomers POV: Tanking a C-17 over Germany

The blast furnace & hearth at Redcar Steel Works. Went for a look before it's all gone. The scale is quite mind boggling!

Alien³ ambience.

One of the greatest documentaries of all time is also one of the strangest. Herzog doesn’t even attempt to rationalize these otherworldly images of Kuwaiti oil fields set ablaze, a document of ‘cataclysmic strangeness’. He gives us a detached, alien perspective onto the catastrophe, set largely to music and lacking ordinary interviews or commentary, and lets the fire speak for itself. There is something truly awesome about it, however terrifying.
