Thanks Frank S.I worked on land based oi-rigs for 35 years and even tho I never was involved in Killing Blown Out Oil & Gas Well or Red Adair Type Stuff I drilled many a Oil or Gas & Steam Well and over the years we all heard How Super Smart The Jet Engine System Is and How Dumb/Primitive The Red Adair System was.Like he did that on purpose to $Chaarge more money for his services. Tho I'm not 100% Scientifically Sure But the General Consensus amongst just about every seasoned Oil-Man was that the "Jet Engine"was good and capabe for Lower Pressure blowouts But when you get to the Extreme High Pressure Gas Blowouts Red Adair had to use High Explosives to Snuff the fire out not just by the extreme shock blast but also by the explosion useing up all the available oxygen in the surrounding atmosphere.And it Worked.If you get a chance The you-tube "Devils Cigarette Lighter"when Red and His Men were challenged by the biggest gas blowout in the Sahara.The Flame was near 500 ft high and burned for months.John Glenn could see it from Space! Interesting and I'm Glad I don't have to do that anymore!

Thanks Jon.Not an Everyday Job.I remember when this happenned and Blowout Service Companies were Head-Hunting for experienced Oil Hands -On People @ $5000.00 a Day,everything included and I heard dozens of Wannabees in their corner store jobs claiming $5000.00 a day was goanna be theirs when they applied for a Job.I used to get exasperated telling them."Man they would'nt even hire you to make the coffee @ $100.00 a day.Unbelievable.
