One of the few positive legacies of the Soviet Union in Turkmenistan is the result of an accident. During Soviet gas explorations in the 1950s, a team was digging around in the Turkmen desert and accidentally created a series of sinkholes filled with natural gas. Someone had the bright idea to set one of the sinkholes on fire to burn off the gas and burn it did.
Yet another bright bulb burns -- uh, hits the dust.
