- Bangladesh’s beaches are the final frontier for freighters that are to be scrapped. Much of this work is carried out by locals, and ship scrapping is a large industry in Bangladesh, with over 70 scrapping centres. Working conditions are some of the worst, and the scrapping costs are extremely low. Because of this, there are few regulations, so accidents, deaths and improper toxic waste management are a regular occurrence.

When making billions of dollars the world's leaders and huge companies will always turn a blind eye on topics like this. it will never change.
Amazing documentary
most of the old ships of the world end up here, not just from europe...
Shipbreaking work is the most dangerous! I used to cry with young guys who got injured in his right leg😢
Another case of Profit before people,the damage is done.
Nonsense this is just another case of the worthlessness of god the skid mark creator
1000000000000000000000000% god/spirit/source fault
Amen
I'm pretty sure UNICEF has made way way way way way more than the 69k suggested on this fundraiser
It's a scam.. never donate to large charities
AS FK UP AS IT IS . UNFORTUNATELY THESE POOR PEOPLE DON'T HAVE MUCH TO OFFER THEIR FAMILYS. YOU STOP THIS . PEOPLE WILL GO HUNGRY. GOD BLESS ALL OF THEM.
At 1:55 what you do not see is in small print on the sign that says no child labor well cameras are on.
One thing I don't understand..why are these workers, who make an average of 3 dollars a day, having 3,4,5 kids? If you can't feed 'em..don't breed 'em
Its nuts to think about how these laborers have more children than the necessary PPE!
Ignorance plus lack of funds for family planning and exhaustion having been treated like virtual slaves. Post accident being abandoned by their unscrupulous employers, government and the ship owners. Each of these should be forced to provide health centres and free hospital treatment via a specific, accountable tax/fund. Enforced family planning education and free contraceptives. These people are dirt poor and vulnerable, bless them. THEY are certainly not to blame.
because of low iq
Birth control is too expensive and abstinence isn’t realistic
India's desperation continues to transfer this last quarter of ship breaking business from Bangladesh to India. That's why we all the foreign vloggers womdering around craps at Dhaka and then end up sneaking around the ship breaking yards of Chittagong. Wallahu Aalam.
Not many electric cars there
these ship breakers purchase these ships from around the world to make huge profit from the salvage and items on the vessels . its often their only income and they need it to survive .if they can't control the pollution they created by breaking the ships then they need to stop this trade and give the ships to contrys like Canada and Norway who can do this with little or no toxic pollution because they actually invest into eco projects unlike India who are only looking at the profit without a care for the planet .the shipping industry are in no way to blame for greed over profit from calls breakers who operate like cowboys
They don't even give them away.. the breaker companies must buy the derelict ships, for millions..
I hope the tv company filming this will pay for the young man’s surgery
To save his mobility and earning potential.
It’s a bad reflection on them if they don’t
The ship breaking companies buy them. They are not dumped here.
Niceeee
Labor very Tóxic and Bad Pay, and Dirt anybody wearing protection Boot, glass and vest, Helmet, mask, Gloves
It seems pretty ridiculous to watch a fundraising documentary where a part of the story is detailing how these families with 6 or more children lose their "breadwinner" and the company cuts ties or doesnt provide any kind of pension or support and the money from the fundraiser goes to another crooked azz country like Ukraine. Buuuuut, its very hard to feel sympathy for people that have been in extreme poverty for well over a century and dont see the issue with having even one child... let alone 6 or more! I dont know whats more extreme, the level of poverty in some places or the blatant ignorance of those people!
Finally someone other than me says it….I watched a documentary on Indias poverty problem and I see this man all upset saying life isn’t fair and he can’t provide for his family, he’s living in a one room hut that’s handmade he invites the camera in and there’s 9 kids…..DUUUUUHHHHH sirrrr even in first world middle class situations birth rates are down and one of the driving factors is we think HMMMMMM I can barely provide for myself…. LEMME NOTTTTT HAVE CHILDREN
The more publicity the better and public boycotting of goods that are transported by these shipping company's will soon bring them to heel and make them think twice.
A tad on the appalling side.
Poor bastards.
All about the money, (as are most, if not all, industries), as are all corporates.
I bet a few of those ships have several, if not more than that, lives left in them.
Wonder what a ship like that sells for as scrap?
This is why I don't eat seafood.
Ho-hum.
You don’t eat seafood because…. You don’t want the ship that caught the seafood to end up in India? Lol. Do you buy anything? Like cars or TVs or computers, or fuel, or ANYTHING FROM CHINA?? Because all of that shit came on freighters that end up in India for ship breaking. The seafood you claim you don’t eat? Well none of those small fishing boats end up in India. Get a clue dude.
@@frowertr1 Where did I say anything about India, DUDE?
Do some homework on seafood farms in Bangladesh, DUDE.
And I think I know what I eat- better than you do, DUDE.
Read the bloody post.
It's about the workers, and the wasted resources.
I should have also mentioned pollution...
China - WTF are you on about?
Small fishing boats? Same comment.
And in the first world workers and activists cry about micro aggressions and non binary bathrooms.
These shipbreakers are very happy to even have these jobs. Compared to no work at all.
Nearly every source of employment has someone who cries foul.
Human nature - greed is good - for big business
Nonsense all gods fault
100000%
Amen
@@geoffr9351 Alleluia , Praise the Lord. Amen.
We are very sorry about that but no body take responsibility.. My cantery work place is o safety.
Ummm well I hope Unicef decided to help the father get the surgery he needs so he's not crippled for the rest of his life! Are you really just going to film and talk about how bad it is, even visiting these families, I really really hope you helped out! Especially if you're using their stories to fund raise!
It's left me speechless and incredibly sad that this is happening. 😢
Auch Patrizia Heidegger will auf Kosten des Lebens dieser unglücklichen Menschen berühmt werden. Ansonsten sind ihm diese Leute egal.

The only thing that should be banned is not child labour but child MAKING
My only thing is if you are that poor- STOP HAVING SO NANY KIDS!!! Why should other people support those who can’t afford kids but just keep having them??? There is no free lunch in this world.
