I've been the the Alang yards on two occasions, and while I sympathize with some of the critiques of greenpeace, you can't tell me that risking death every day can possibly be worth $3. On a single day in Alang I saw five people permanently disfigured, and one person freshly burned by ascetaline or perhaps acid. <br /><br />A mechanic's helper earns 100 rupees a day. A rickshaw walla can clear several hundred with little to no risk. There is no way that tearing apart a 500 ton ship with blow torches and pliers should be so poorly paid or given such inadequate safety gear.Scott Carneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03332843345932942468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-1154434438557045272006-08-01T17:43:00.000+05:302006-08-01T17:43:00.000+05:30k: read this - http://indiamediareview.blogspot.co...k: read this - http://indiamediareview.blogspot.com/ ...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-1154416807613547442006-08-01T12:50:00.000+05:302006-08-01T12:50:00.000+05:30You know, it is quite sad to see big hulks being d...You know, it is quite sad to see big hulks being destroyed...Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885651813993966354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-1154353630524130042006-07-31T19:17:00.000+05:302006-07-31T19:17:00.000+05:30The big thing is, K, that ship-breaking taught a g...The big thing is, K, that ship-breaking taught a generation of people the art of ship-building.
