- This feature documentary profiles a bustling Indian shantytown where 40,000 people live and work in the most primitive conditions. Dismantling the rusting hulks of the world’s largest ships, the workers have no protection from injury or death. On average, one worker dies every day, some from explosions or falls, but many from cancers caused by asbestos, PCBs and other toxic substances. This visually stunning film vividly captures the haunting shells of decaying industrial machinery as well as the deplorable conditions of workers in 21st century global economics.

Can't they use these ships to house people?
Alang, where the men are men and 100,000 ton ships are nervous.
Mark! Your comment “Hope you enjoy” Is hard to swallow. On the other hand, with-ought your skills interest in alerting us in the U.S.A. Of this tragic complicated serious dangerous ways of trying to cope with life’s hardships we would never have known. And for that I thank you so very much. It makes me want to scream! How little concern our government has in bringing tragic situations to the forefront. The water in the Ocean’s all flow and mix with currents. What ever happens there comes here wether in the air or the sea. How narrow of mind and concern can we be.
As a micro scrapper here in Canada, I truly appreciated this documentary. What I do isn't always dangerous, but is definitely hard work. I'm sure I expose myself to many things toxic (beryllium from microwaves as an example), in order to ensure things are recycled so future generations don't have to further rape the earth for resources currently being dumped everywhere by others.
Beryllium is plain bad news!!!!!
@@pauloconnor2980 "Beryllium is toxic as both a skin irritant and an inhaled substance and can result in dermatitis, acute pneumonitis, and chronic pulmonary disease. The first signs of serious or life-threatening acute beryllium exposure may involve difficulty breathing, chest pain, or shortness of breath".
Still, sadly only about 0.00000001% of all the mined precious metals, in all our disposable electrics is actually re-used. The above is a horrendous environmental disaster, not to mention the terrible unsafe conditions these poor people work in. Nobody, however poor, should have to work like this. And people think deep sea mining will be regulated? NO WAY, nobody will be around to monitor, regulate and fine the perpetrators.
Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back.
@@moolieboy And? He didn't, because he said "micro scrapper" and "what I do isn't always dangerous", playing himself well short of any self-proclaimed hero-status.
This documentary is so well made. I've seen ships launched, and ships that sink to the ocean floor, but this is the end of many a vessel. They served us well, the shipping industry is a source of great wealth, for many countries. I always pray for sailors...these guys deserve to be included in those prayers...🌹⚓
Hardspace: Shipbreaker brought me here.
Really fascinating documentary. Thanks for putting it up here.
Same lol
ditto

Yep.
And there she is: Sea Corona, formerly mv Nedlloyd Rockanje, one of the ships I’ve sailed on. A happy ship it was👍 november 16, 2009 she arrived at Alang.

look in the worker's eye's, so sad broken souls 💔
Looks to me a lot like imposed economic slavery, I've served in the military all over the world. I have never seen anything like this before; I treat my cat and dog better than this. This is deplorable situation that all of us should take notice of and rectify immediately.
"This industry doesn't require any energy" I hate to break it to you mate but ANY work requires energy. The energy starts off as the calories in the food your workers digest. Their metabolism converts the calories into energy so the workers can do manual labor. The breaking down of the ship is predominately done with cutting torches. These cutting torches convert the energy in propane into heat which them allows them to cut the steel. It is impossible to do any work without using some form of energy. And make no mistake about it, the success of the industry isn't because of the high and low tide, it is because of the disposable workforce that work for next to nothing with no overheads for occupational health a safety, it really is a disgrace that a country will allow companies to become so wealthy off the backs of these poor bastards.
You have to love India. "No problem here! No problem here!" denying that that there's any danger to the workers due to pollution.
It is a sad world when one considers all the suffering!
5$ a day to be a ship breaker. and a sheet of 3/16 4'x8' sells for 380.00$ something wrong with this picture...
Capitalism at its best.......
Neither of you seem to understand microeconomics, regardless of governmental economic system
@@anthonytilling3442 your a consumer so secure your liberal sewer,
@@JJ-si4qh care to elaborate on the subject?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wish more people cared about the environment, unfortunately so few actually do. The amount of pollution is heart breaking.
This was great and I'm glad this place could have a spotlight shined on it ty
Outstanding documentary I’ve watched before.
3:48 " good thing is that it requires no power, no energy"
Except for the mountains of compressed torch gases.
Oh, and the lakes of diesel fuel that the cranes trucks etc. use. But NO energy. lol
Some where there's a video of the ship I served on in the US Navy. She wasn't that old and it was dumb to break her up. She was a sub tender and could have been converted to a hospital ship.
Bill Hunter - They are good at wasting resources, and they earn money. Isn't it weird ? .
Bill, Your ship did not have a name or hull number?
The alternative breaking location to India / Pakistan / Bangladesh is Turkey; this has become the preferred location for European owners who wish to ethically dispose of their vessels. The difference is, however, around $200 per lightweight tonne paid by the yard to buy the ship for scrap. Just depends how greedy everyone in the chain is.........
You see green everywhere so there is no pollution 😂😂😂😂
what
You should have put quotations
Called colour blindness....try your olfactory sense, next time
Reminds me of Where Ships Go To Die, documentary 😢😢😢😢
Some have so much money that they can buy cities, others struggle to death to get a little food for themselves and their families. Life is only unfair to some, others wallow in luxury. It is a terrible sight to see how the poor live, they live to die as they say in the video. The world has always been unfair, and it will remain so forever.
great job ❤
Wow, fascinating.
I give credit to the people from India that have honest work like this and not scamming people over the phone
This is high quality stuff suprising it has only 70k views
As the saying goes ,, "A Man got to do ,what a man got to do !!!"...😔😔😔😔
good video
*These guys need a union*
I would work at that Texas yard in a heartbeat, safety makes the difference! Great documentary guys! I love the comparison with American breakers!
Yes, in the US, proper safety equipment and hydraulic equipment for all the heavy bits, rather than 20 poor skinny men, who have already been inhaling toxic fumes and particulates all day!!! Horrendous how the richer Indian men treat their poorer brethren. Sorry, I missed the use of cranes in India???
Alang is one of those places that seem to come straight out of the pages of a dystopian novel. I've known about the yard for years, but looking at the conditions the workers have to face, and the environmental distruction that occurs there never gets easier.
Alang was once another beautiful sandy beach. Now it's mud filled with oil, rust and every kind of chamical imaginable.
This is the sort of thing the UN were designed to solve, but that will never happen as long as certain few benefit from the suffering of all others.
This narrator sounds like the narrator that was in the old elementary, middle school, high school films 🎥.
I think I've seen it all now there is a NO SMOKING sign on the fence at 35:35 that has got to be the most idiotic thing considering where these guys work
Absolutely disgusting how these people are used and abused. . . Watch some of the vids on their engineering skills. . . Unbelievable. The powers that be are abusing ALL OF MANKIND. . . and leaving TOXIC WASTE EVERYWHERE . . . BUT NOT WHERE THEY CHOOSE TO MAKE THEIR HOME . . . .
THE TIME IS COMING TO STICK IT TO THE MAN. . . .
Never misunderstand THE FACT that if you don't have a plan for your future you are destined to surely work for someone who does and you can just about bet their plans don't include your benefits.
Easy to say for someone from the west, a society with prosperity and upward mobility for those who are lucky. India is not the same. The caste system is so strong that there is nearly no chance for upward mobility for many if not most - regardless of plan or effort.
The pollution of espestose and who only knows what is going Into are ocean I respect all of this and it feeds so many men and families big wish they could have regulations on.polutuon was better it would be stepp too better pay and conditions
Brilliant video thank u 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Now thing's have changed in Alang but I can't say its perfect.
Most of the yards are working according to compliance set by Hkc and some of the yards turned into Green ship recycling yards
Workers getting proper PPE, training, facilities etc.
still lot of improvement is needed and pollution control measures should be taken.
It is quite obvious these young uneducated men from the villages are badly abused by the employers and occasionally pay lip service to their own rules. When a man gets killed rarely are his relatives compensated. It needs the Indian government to clean up its act. Better legislation in first world countries is needed to prevent the heavy pollution of south Asians countries but on the other hand howmany men wouldsuffer through lack of employment, it becomes a vicious circle. But I can't help but feel for their situation.
Question, who's the voiceover, such a nice clear voice?
One man's waste is another man's treasure, or" one economies waste is another economic resources" .
It always astonishes me to see a ship the size of a 45-50 story building being ripped apart, slowly being dragged onto the beach section by section till there’s nothing left .. the amount of labour that goes into building these just to have the same amount of labour to demolish them.. the only saving grace is they’re torn apart in a fairly poor country, so EVERYTHING, no matter how small or big, gets reused or recycled in some form or another
5 dollars a day slave wages
What a very hard life to make 1-5$ a day in India.. Makes me appreciate my job although it’s also somewhat difficult.. may those poor people earn enough to start a new life without getting sick from those fumes.
Always remember how lucky you are
He says this line of work doesn’t require any energy just labour but the gas cutters are using gas which is an energy
Доброго времени суток)))
А можно контакты компании для обратной связи, вопросу покупки метала ...
many of us have no idea what happens in poorer countries and what people have to do just to survive.
30:30 What a joke. Sits in his nice office, probably never sets foot in the yard. Same with the next guy. And the Indian Governments going so bloody slow to improve things. If they start enforcing the laws, the business will go elsewhere. Africa perhaps. Or China will take it. There are other places that will break up a ship cheaply..
damn and it gets worse. It is actually a very difficult to watch documentary seeing how we richer countries allow people/ industries to dump on poor countries, who are just grateful for the work, all because our regulations are becoming stricter and more expensive to maintain.
How do you get the engines out.
When was this shot??
They don't build ships like that anymore, most of them are over 50 years old and one in the Texas site I'm guessing is from the 1930's-40's. Sad seeing and old ship end up like this. Its all about size today, you would probably be able to break up a modern ship with a half decent Swiss army knife.
How about a video on wives and mothers-in-law? You could call it 'BALLBREAKERS'
I From Alang
In these next two weeks, the biggest super volcano. Will it start to irrupt together all at once
I find shipbreaking to be one of man's saddest occupations. And Indians/Pakistanis are the ONLY people bold enough to recycle them.
Dont forget Pakistan and Texas
This is what happens when you breed like rabbits. It makes life cheap. The poor are the worlds down fall.
It benefits a few rich owners. And their governments allow it. The rich stay rich and the poor stay poor.
Wasting 2 HOURS a day praying is insanity!
On those ships, they must have better protective equipment..that can be used by workers
All of that gets sold.
wonder who is the owners of these companies? they have to be worth trillions of dollars.
Planet run by greed always has been always will be.
Ship breaking reminds me of wat biden did to my wallet its been ship wrecked
04:00 thats like a job for 5 max people he pays 20 30 for it 😂 *bruhmakalele*
You can see a license plate from space.
Steven Tyler @ 40:10
Sad all round hey?
Well at least there's work for men and women there.😬
🫤 it is unfortunate for those workers, in India. But, if they don't do "shipbreaking" do they and their families die from starvation?
India treats the workers like dogs. That cast system thing. Living thousands of years in the past. I avoid 7-11's.
Doesn’t require power huh aren’t we all going electric soon ?
Um yeah 👍 hard labour do thay pray for pay rise 5dollers a day👎
Ah well. Someone has got to do it👎
Saf.. Forget about it.
You know you're dealing with a corrupt, dishonest, lying, unethical shill when he says from his clean office, "This is a nice place to work."
Yea you'd nearly get asbestosis just watching this.
This is old video footage. Its not this way now.
Hey man.....do you have an actual idea of how it is now? I would love to get in touch to get insights if you were involved in the industry. I'm writing my thesis on it and information is hard to get.
If you went for a swim there you would dissolve
ooo Bhai hindi nhi aata hai kya
This is a country filled with men and women willing to risk their lives to achieve their dreams. In America we have so much opportunity, yet we have so many able bodies sitting at home on welfare living off the government. These working men and women doing this dangerous work are rewarded no matter how small the pay with self worth and dignity. This is what life looks like with out government assistance. These people get my upmost respect.
@Buckwheat it seems you have an issue with women. Have to many rejected you? The only women underserved are the women who left you. Now they are elevated by bigger and better things.
@Buckwheat by the way fool, I’m not a woman. I’m a man that loves women and women love me.
I love scrap!
The amount of Luck of respect that humanities has for planet earth is sick. The amount of lies that humanity has given to humanity. It’s sick, just like religion and it’s God which is all lies. This is all too sick.
You know what the major difference between those in usa and india , the pay difference is through the roof. That why one doesn't want to stay and other want. In USA you get more right as a immigrants without any paper that indian that got papers in their own country. 😂
Health & safety -0%
Where's Greta screaming " HOW DARE YOU!!!!"?
Funny
Wondering if any pollution incurred during this process,🤪
You are taking the piss.
This is so wrong for the planet and the people being used for cheap labour. The conditions they work in is totally unacceptable in this day and age, and the ship owners should be ashamed of themselves. Wish someone would do a video and name the ship owners who hide in the background 🙄
Let’s get it correct..wiremen and torchmen! You won’t see anyone women grafted in this hell hole until the job becomes much easier…then they will start to cry for equality!
Supply and demand. Too little work and too many people needing the few jobs available. Life in the third world. That’s the way it’ll be in the west too If our current leaders could have their way.
A total environmental catastrophe.
So a gas axe doesn't require power?
Please do explain.
Modern day slavery there 5 quid a day!
31:08 I get paid more than that in 2 hours and the work in less dangerous here in Australia
So sad to see these majestic behemoths cannibalised and destroyed.
India and Bangladesh will definitely have some of the world's best quality steel for years to come.
so this is what you take from this documentary? nothing about how actual humans are DYING?
@@blahblahblah5642 This is like the 8th comment on this topic my 1st one was about the many sacrifices over safety.
This comment is here because Mark said to comment lol
No pollution? Okey but 1 of 7 has breathing problems.
A crap Job. Poverty and desperate for income of anythinh
Wonder which decade this was filmed, as I’m ryt now in Alang for purchase. I’m really glad to see this industry flourish and the Safty and Systematic advancements. There are more than a hand full of certifications and inspectional qualifications to operate a ship breaking plot. Plots Failing to meet the parameters hadn’t broken ships for nearly a decade.
And India is not a country to let it’s people die for the sake of the economy.
This must have been filmed at least 10 to 15 years ago, as you can see the vehicles in this film are very old models.
This doesn’t seem true to me.
Maybe it was and never is.
Also note the date shown in the film, @ 33:18 minutes. The date in 2009.
India does not let its people die for the industry? Are you a joke? How many fatalities are reported each year? Any idea how many go unreported? One of India's so-called best practice yards (Priya Blue) had a fatality only a few weeks back on the CIDADE DE SAO VICENTE from BW Offshore. Have things improved in the last 10 years? Sure. Is it good enough, no. Not safety wise, not environmentally wise. Saying anything else is ignorance.
It was released in 2004. This isn’t 100 years ago.
You are a sick person with words like that. All lies. This is a terrible tragedy to man and earth.
There are no words that can excuse this WASTE of our mother earth. There are no words that can excuse the workers slow death by the hands of greedy men. Shame on you for your lies.
Nothing has changed.
This is the most disgusting act that humanity has committed against this planet, and all the planets I’ll give three years for this planet, planet earth to be destroyed
I must be very honest. My dogs at home have a better life than these workers…..
So sad.
Dogs have a better life than everyone.
@@Luke-ed1gp so true.! I treat my 4 chiwawas like royalty.! You can see them left in the circle.
Why you guys are portrayeing this in a bad light instead of the prosperity it brings to this people that had NOTHING before this. Celebrate the prosperity they have found out of nowhere. Stop your left whining. STOP GETTING IN OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES!!
Jesus is the way, the truth, the life.
