There is no doubt that this documentary is visual treat and people who shot this documentary must have worked in a very unfriendly environment. The thing which remained with me is the method engineers used to put out the fire. Using a dynamite to put out fire. That's something I couldn't have imagined. How water has to be used and where to throw it etc. I like the idea of putting a sealing at the opening with an open funnel while keep throwing water on that funnel and then finally close that funnel from the top. Fantastic. It seems when these engineers started working on this project they thought it will take years to kill the fire in 700 wells. They finished the job in months. A documentation of the triumph of human imagination and its capabilities. A must watch for engineering students. 10/10.
