Weather of Arabia - Perhaps few remember the incident during which unknown persons blew up oil pipelines in the city of Tikrit in Iraq near the banks of the Tigris River in 2014; This led to the leakage of flaming oil slicks into the Tigris River, which greatly polluted it.
A huge cloud of black smoke obscured the Tikrit day and turned it into night, and a large amount of oil spread over a length of 20 kilometers on the Tigris River after the explosion.
It is noteworthy that the smoke resulting from the burning of oil during that accident emitted to great heights in the atmosphere, to the extent that it appears from satellite images.
