    The ship breakers of Bangla Desh

    No OH&S here, Bob


    The Ship-Breakers
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    There was a docco on TV a year or so back, though I can't remember if it was Bangladesh or India shown. In some ways it was fascinating to watch, a mammoth ship being taken apart by hand, but tempered with the human cost. Many deaths and injuries.

    And just to show what happens when a Western country tries to do something similar: BBC News - The legacy of Hartlepool's US Navy 'ghost ships'
