End of the line

This photo essay, about the supertanker "shipbreaking" industry in Bangladesh, is heartbreaking, kind of scary and yet if only approached in an abstract way kind of cool. It'd be a horrible life to have, no question, and the fact that people are forced to have it is inhuman. There's not really a 'but' to that, and facts like the one that 80 of Bangladesh's steel comes from these scrap ships are just disheartening, but the essay is worth checking out for visual appeal alone.
