Just created this article! edit
Hey all, just created this article. I was inspired by the list of non-water floods, and I figured this topic had ample sourcing. Please let me know if you have any suggestions! I used NewspaperARCHIVE.com through the Wikipedia Library and found a few newspaper sources, but I'm on the lookout for more news sources from 1991. Thanks!

- Comment: Due to a busy week, I didn't nominate this article until now. I've missed the 7-day deadline but only by a few hours, so I figured I'd nominate anyway just in case you can make an exception! I love this topic and I think it would be a great addition to DYK! Thanks in advance for taking the time to read it
