The Bangladeshi flag shows a red sun against a field of green – most appropriate for this verdant land. |  11-14-2006, 02:30 AM |  | Deferential BT Legend | | Join Date: Jan 2006 Posts: 460 Thanks: 816 Thanked 188 Times in 15 Posts Rep Power: 28 UL: 226.48 gb DL: 114.49 gb Ratio: 1.98 | | | Chittagong The Ship-Breaking Yards Dust  |  11-14-2006, 02:34 AM |  | Deferential BT Legend | | Join Date: Jan 2006 Posts: 460 Thanks: 816 Thanked 188 Times in 15 Posts Rep Power: 28 UL: 226.48 gb DL: 114.49 gb Ratio: 1.98 | | | Chittagong The Ship-Breaking Yards Cable Gang  |  11-14-2006, 06:11 AM | | Moderator | | Join Date: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,506 Thanks: 601 Thanked 1,184 Times in 169 Posts Rep Power: 61 UL: 67.56 gb DL: 52.34 gb Ratio: 1.29 | | | Re: Chittagong The Ship-Breaking Yards Thanks for sharing these nice pictures again aaron. Ship breaking yard is nothing but a terrible burden on Bangladesh now. This is dumping all the poisons and harmful chemical on our land from rest of the world! |  11-15-2006, 09:16 AM |  | Privileged Member $Donor! | | Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 239 Thanks: 740 Thanked 351 Times in 17 Posts Rep Power: 25 UL: 249.39 gb DL: 161.53 gb Ratio: 1.54 | | | Re: Chittagong The Ship-Breaking Yards This was recently featured in 60 minutes. Like dream said, it is a toxic dump for the rest of the world threatening wild life and the ecological balance in the area. This business started when the big cyclone of 1965 landed a ship on the beach and local businessman figured out a way to recycle the steel. Now it is a death trap with about 50 laborers dying every year from accidents. This is where we actually get most of our steel (85%) used to build houses. What a shame, we don't have to trade our future for steel just to make few local businessman/politicians rich. Thanks Aaron for those stunning photographs. |  11-22-2006, 05:38 PM | | Inquisitive | | Join Date: Nov 2006 Posts: 9 Thanks: 2 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts Rep Power: 0 UL: 85.88 mb DL: 535.20 mb Ratio: 0.16 | | | Re: Chittagong The Ship-Breaking Yards woooow... nice thread... and nice photography. |  01-22-2007, 11:43 AM |  | Deferential BT Legend | | Join Date: Jan 2006 Posts: 460 Thanks: 816 Thanked 188 Times in 15 Posts Rep Power: 28 UL: 226.48 gb DL: 114.49 gb Ratio: 1.98 | | | Re: Chittagong The Ship-Breaking Yards |  07-24-2007, 01:42 AM | | Inquisitive | | Join Date: Feb 2006 Posts: 3 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts Rep Power: 0 UL: 5.11 mb DL: 146.49 mb Ratio: 0.03 | | | Re: Chittagong The Ship-Breaking Yards These Pictures Are Phenomenal!!!!!!!! |  08-29-2007, 05:22 AM |  | Inquisitive | | Join Date: Aug 2007 Posts: 10 Thanks: 0 Thanked 11 Times in 1 Post Rep Power: 0 UL: 4.85 gb DL: 7.74 gb Ratio: 0.63 | | | Re: Chittagong The Ship-Breaking Yards Great Pictures  |  09-16-2007, 01:07 PM | | Inquisitive | | Join Date: Aug 2007 Posts: 4 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts Rep Power: 0 UL: 2.30 gb DL: 5.05 gb Ratio: 0.46 | | | Re: Chittagong The Ship-Breaking Yards Beautiful photographs ....Too Good..
