The ships are cut apart from the inside and sections are winched to shore using thick steel cables. Two yard managers watch as a section weighing over one hundred tons is pulled off the ship. Hundreds of pieces of metal shrapnel flew off, with some larger than bowling balls. The managers were just turning to move having realized they were too close and could have been injured or killed. You can see the full sequence in the Nat Geo YouTube video link below.
After they are pulled on to the shore of the once pristine black sand beaches, the ship sections are cut into steel sheets, most of which will be turned into rebar rods for building construction. Ships usually take three to six months to be completely disassembled.  During the process, workers are exposed to many dangers including carcinogens like vaporized lead paint, and gas explosions on the ships - all for a few dollars a day. Worker injuries are common. This story was published in the May 2014 National Geographic magazine.
The short shipbreaking video we produced has been seen by over 400,000 people on several sites including the National Geographic channel on YouTube.  To view it, copy and paste this link into your browser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOmtFN1bfZ8 . #shipbreaking #shipbreakers #shipbreaker #bangladesh @thephotosociety @petergwin @mike_hettwer
