The harrowing plight of the ship breakers of Bangladesh - one of the most dangerous jobs in the world|世界最危險工作 - 孟加拉拆船工


The sad beauty of these incredible images cast a light on the shipbreaking industry in Bangladesh, where workers face death and injury from accidents and environmental hazards for just a few dollars a a day.

Chittagong Ship Breaking Yard is the largest of its type in the world. Around 80 active ship breaking yards line an eight-mile stretch of the coast, employing more than 200,000 Bangladeshis and accounting for half of all the steel in Bangladesh.

在孟加拉長達13公里的海岸上,聚集著80家拆船廠,超過20萬孟加拉人正在從事世界上最危險的工作!他們是一群拆船工,出產孟加拉一半的鋼鐵,卻常常面臨受傷甚至死亡的威脅,而這樣危險的工作每天的薪資竟不到10美元!
