Kuwaiti tire dump on flames

Description:

In Kuwait's Al Jahra Governorate, the largest tire dump in the world is on fire near the city of Sulaibiya. Social media videos depict a column of smoke that rises so far into the sky that it is difficult to discern where it ends. Because of its size, the fire may be seen from space. Over 25,000 square meters make up the waste, which is reportedly a common fire threat. Tires are taking up more and more room at the Sulaibiya landfill, Mr. Minister. "Set it on fire and make it look like an accidental fire, and we can't be accused of polluting the atmosphere."
