@mike_hettwer SHIPBREAKING - When large ships are too old, no longer seaworthy or too expensive to operate, they are "broken" on the beaches of some of the poorest countries in the world. In Bangladesh, it is done in a particularly dangerous way for both workers and the environment. About 150 to 200 ships annually are dismantled by workers on the black sand beaches of Bangladesh, north of Chittagong.  The ships are cut apart from the inside and the large sections are winched to shore and cut down into steel plates. Most of the steel plates are recycled into rebar for construction. It takes about three to six months to “break” a ship and they are usually between 500-1200 feet long. These huge ships are 10-15 stories tall and dwarf the workers.
There are few safety or environmental laws and even fewer enforced. The workers have little protection for their lungs, eyes, hands or feet. In March of 2016, they were protesting the death of another worker who was run over by a truck. Guards at the yard opened fired injuring seven people including a 16 year old boy.

The short shipbreaking video we produced has been seen by over 2.1 million people and can be viewed on several sites including the Nat Geo YouTube channel : “Where Ships Go to Die, Workers Risk Everything”. You can paste this link into a browser to view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOmtFN1bfZ8
