"Ship breaking" (Working Man's Death) many heartbreaking pictures + video
World's biggest ship graveyard - where huge tankers and cruise liners are scrapped on the shorefront and workers toil for £2 a day
Massive Gadani ship-breaking yard stretches some 10kn along the coast near Karachi, Pakistan
Workers are paid a pittance to work in filthy and dangerous conditions but there is not shortage of recruits
The facility reduces around 100 ships a year into sheets and angles of metal, pipes and working machines
It produces about a million tonnes of steel fulfilling most of Pakistan's demand for metal from the construction sector
This is the biggest ship graveyard in the world - where huge tankers and cruise liners are scrapped on the shorefront by teams of labourers using little more than hand tools.
The job is considered one of the most dangerous in the world with workers earning a pittance of just £2.25 a day. But amazingly there is no shortage of willing recruits.
They come from a nearby squatter settlements and every morning swarm a 10k stretch of sandy beach at Gadani in Pakistan

...meaning they are literally laden with the stuff.
The same problems in Alang, India as in Gadani. It's a sad existence to have to pull apart these old ships so you can feed your family - all the while being made sick from it.
