User Alexiuss on deviantArt.com created an amazing post detailing the lives of the men who are paid to breakdown the abandoned ships of the world for scraps. In a place described as “Hell on Earth,” they are paid $1.50 a day for some 14 hours of work, live in shacks made of the scraps, and face perils at work that many of us couldn’t even imagine. Their world is dangerous and fascinating, a visceral reminder of humanity and life’s struggles. It’s a post that’s bound to change the way you look at your day.
