  Yeah, this is truly horrifying. Impressive and horrifying.

    Take a look at some of the videos from the ship breaking yards in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. People working with no protective equipment at all, often barefoot, using torches to cut up ships full of lead paint, heavy metals, and asbestos.

  Possibly the best youtube comment ever made: "I only buy organic locally hand-made batteries."

  Working directly with batteries and lead dust with no protection equipment, with nothing. That's terrifying but at the same time I've become so used to seeing employees do this sort of thing in my own country despite my repeated warnings that I've become numb to it.
