I first saw this in a BRILLIANT documentary: Workingman’s Death

Definitely worth watching!

The guys over at Google Sightseeing have a post about ship breaking, along with links to Google Maps images of beached ships on the shores of India & Bangladesh. Gives a whole new meaning to a day at the beach. Sad.

I see Carnival Cruise Lines is updating their fleet. Kathy Lee Gifford will be so pleased to be working again.

Great example of the law of unintended consequences. We, as a nation, made our environmental laws more stringent in the 70’s so the ship breaking business dies in New Jersey and in other industrialized countries, but the environment is probably net worse now that the ship breaking business is done under 3rd world conditions.
