>In February 1991, having gutted and pillaged Kuwait City, the fleeing Iraqi Army sets off explosive charges at the heads of more than 700 Kuwaiti oil wells, igniting geysers of oil and sending brilliant yellow flames as high as 300 feet into the air. For some 30 weeks, these fires unleash up to 5000 tons of billowing black smoke a day into the bleak desert landscape, creating an apocalyptic, inky plume 800 miles long.

Smoke from the oil fires turns the desert day into night. The only relief from the darkness is the eerie flames themselves. From pools some 4000 feet below the earth’s surface, where it collected 100 million years ago, the oil shrieks up and out of the earth with an awful primal scream and a terrible force, like an air hose that’s been severed, only a hundred times louder.

The fires reach temperatures of 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. The air around the fires heats to a shimmering 650 degrees, and the sand at the base of the fires can reach a stupefying 1300 degrees.

>With more and more members of the Volkssturm (Germany's National Militia) being directed to the front line, German authorities were experiencing an ever-increasing strain on their stocks of army equipment and clothing. In a desperate attempt to overcome this deficiency, street to street collection depots called the Volksopfer, meaning Sacrifice of the people, scoured the country, collecting uniforms, boots and equipment from German civilians, as seen here in Berlin on February 12, 1945. The Volksopfer bears the words "The Fuhrer expects your sacrifice for Army and Home Guard. So that you're proud your Home Guard man can show himself in uniform - empty your wardrobe and bring its contents to us".

Snowfalls of 20–60 inches (51–150 cm) fell in parts of New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, and sustained winds of more than 45 miles per hour (72 km/h) produced snowdrifts in excess of 50 feet (15 m). Railroads were shut down and people were confined to their houses for up to a week.

Another three million people became refugees, fleeing to other regions to escape the hunger. The famine was caused by severe drought, the ongoing destruction of fields by swarms of locusts, the domestic demand for supplies for the Chinese troops engaged in battle against the occupying Japanese Army, and the destruction of what little food remained when seized by the Japanese.

New wooden fan blades being prepared for installation in the Altitude Wind Tunnel at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory. The facility underwent a major upgrade in 1951 to increase its operating capacities in order to handle the new, more powerful turbojet engines being manufactured in the 1950s. The fan blades were prepared in the shop area, seen in this photograph, before being lowered through a hole in the tunnel and attached to the drive shaft. A new drive bearing and tail faring were also installed on the fan as part of this rehab project. A 12-bladed 31-foot-diameter spruce wood fan generated the 300 to 500 mile-per-hour airflow through the tunnel. An 18,000-horsepower General Electric induction motor located in the rear corner of the Exhauster Building drove the fan at 410 revolutions per minute. An extension shaft, sealed in the tunnel’s shell with flexible couplings that allowed for the movement of the shell, connected the motor to the fan. A bronze screen secured to the turning vanes protected the fan against damage from any engine parts sailing through the tunnel. Despite this screen the blades did become worn or cracked over time and had to be replaced.

Kelsey recognized the danger of Thalidomide before anybody else did, and her actions prevented potentially thousands of birth defects by keeping the drug out of the US market.
