Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia, USA
Two weeks before he was laid to rest here, President John Kennedy visited the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery to lay a wreath on Armistice Day (now known as Veteran's Day).
In a visit earlier in the year he had commented that the view from this spot on the hill before Arlington House was so magnificent that he could stay forever.
Jacqueline Kennedy requested the eternal flame, similar to the one she had seen for the French Unknown Soldier in Paris.
Residual gas burn-off captured at the Shenango Coke Works on Neville Island.
Apparently the coke works is a major polluter in the area but is a source of fascination when the plant periodically spews huge billowing clouds into the atmosphere while these vents are spewing gouts of flame.
Found this bit of info regarding coke, it's production and use:
"Coke is made from coal that is heated at extremely high temperatures to burn off certain compounds and form a dense material that's more than 90 percent carbon. At integrated mills, the grey, lava-like coke lumps are added to iron ore and other ingredients in a blast furnace to produce molten iron. The coke serves as fuel and as a means to extract impurities from the iron ore. It also provides a sturdy but porous base inside the oven, so air can freely pass through to feed the fire. "
