It's a recreation of the "Highway of Death", where Iraqi forces escaping Kuwait were attacked by the US: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_of_Death Quote The Highway of Death refers to a road between Kuwait and Basra on which the retreating Iraqi army was attacked by American aircraft during the Gulf War, on the night of February 26/27, 1991. Western news reports refer to the road as Highway 80, and it runs from Kuwait City to the border towns of Abdali (Kuwait) and Safwan (Iraq), and then on to Basra. The road was repaired during the late 1990s, and was used in the initial stages of the 2003 invasion of Iraq by U.S. and British forces. [...] Attacks took place on two different sections; some 1,400 vehicles on the main highway north of Al Jahra and another 400 or so on the coastal road to Basra - the former predominantly stolen civilian vehicles (including cars, buses and trucks) and manned by Iraqi Regular Army conscripts and Palestinian militiamen, and the latter predominantly military and belonging to the Iraqi Republican Guard's 1st "Hammurabi" Armored Division. When visited by journalists the former was a long uninterrupted line of destroyed or damaged and abandoned vehicles. On the other road, known as the place of the Battle of the Junkyard, vehicles of the Hammurabi Division had been destroyed over a much larger area in smaller groups, and the attacking Allied forces included ground units of the US 3rd Armored Division. -- Last edit: 2007-02-19 01:21:58
