Inside The Floating Mines That Host One Of The Most Dangerous Jobs | Risky Business | Insider News 

The narrator sounds like a headspace coach, it takes away all the danger from the clip😂

The voice over is not meant for such documentaries.. 🙏

This is how hard people work, they're not trying to be rich. They just want to feed their family... Respect to all these guys who work so hard for their family. May god protect them

I used to clean inside oil tanks and being under air is equally stressful as it is comforting. Being able to breath where you normally cannot is a unique feeling.

The kiss of the hand from his wife made me emotional knowing how happy she is to see her husband safely back home. For such types of jobs we say thanks to God if our loved ones return back home. Some never do.

Always amazing to see video of other careers, places, people around the world. Makes you appreciate what you have even when things gets rough

The voiceover for this could have been done in Descript and you would have ended up with a more human sounding voice. 👌

Much respect to these miners and their families! I cannot imagine having to do such dangerous things just for survival of self and family.

We didnt need this to be an asmr video

when you’re so fascinated by your own voice you forget you’re narrating

if life gives you lemon, you make lemonades, so at this point instead of waiting for stocks to crash or recovery, focus on how to profit off the current market, Bloomberg, WSJ, BBC business(just to mention a few) have been recording cases of folks averaging 350k in 12weeks, so there's money being moved around if you know where you're looking.

the person talking she is treating this like a ASMR documentary whispering the whole time 😂

The video seems interesting but the narrator's voice makes me feel uncomfortable.

Indonesia is the only country in the world that sits in The Ring of fire, very rich in minerals due to volcanic openings and their seismic activities that opened up the earth crust 24-7... The Tin ore in Bangka comes from activities in their southern Mount Krakatoa the largest underwater Volcano in Asia that met their inland Sumatera Mount Barisan that also rich in Coal and Nickel deposits... No matter how corrupted the government is, Indonesia's earth crust will keep pouring out various kind of minerals and sprouting spices literally forever...

"I will work till death because of the responsibility I have of my family" What a real gentleman and a genuine tough guy!

Why are you whispering? Is there a sleeping baby next to you when you recorded this narration?

Really makes you appreciate your job that's for sure. It's crazy that it's actually illegal what he's doing but it's his only hope. Oh and I've seen a lot of toxic lakes caused by mining and they are always so beautiful, of course its a terrible thing but they get pretty wild looking.

"safety is too expensive". That is the small print written on every cooperate job contract

The whispering voice over killed it for me

The resilience of people in this country despite all the difficulties and challenges!

When your mic is inside your mouth.

Video is interesting, but immediately turn away when heard her voice... totally nightmare

They work with Bakka Tin like Pewter in Indonesia - very fine craftsmanship. My parents lived in Jakarta for about 8 years and I managed to fly over and visit them while they were there. Loved the country and found the people to be very friendly, particularly if you can speak Bahasa Indonesia. In 10 weeks before I went I managed to learn enough Bahasa Indoensia to speak like a normal person and they were amazed, and would go out of their way to show me their culture. Loved it and hated to leave.

Can we please donate safety equipment to joko🤷🏾‍♂️ he needs it and a raise if you ask me🤣🤣

The narrator sounds like a ASMR video

Ok but her voice is trying too hard

1) 10% under on supply-side black market is awesome. (Normal is 50%less). 2) $13/day is reletive to the cost of living in his village. 3) no commercial scuba divers >100ft use $2k full-view helmets. $50 Emergency tank clipped to belt is perfect back-up. 4) how did this person get this job for the voice-over? Take a wrong turn at the millenial ASMR championship? Good story with so-so research and a bad voice-over. ALL JOBS UNDERWATER ARE DANGEROUS

He risks his life every day to provide for his family. That is a real man. Respect.

No offense but the comentary sounds like asmr

Amazing documentary. Damn this is hard work...makes you appreciate the work you have & makes you strive for more like a side-hustle biz.

I love how they're planting trees on the old mining sites, although you didn't mention it you can see it at like 8 minutes into this video. I also love the wife's home made baby cradle at about 12 minutes in. Insider News, why don't you donate the revenue from this video towards getting these guys some proper diving gear and proper respirators for when they melt down the tin? Also, if they can dive like that that deep for that long without proper gear, they should join some free diving competitions just for the award money.

Someone give this girl a glass of water

Why is the narrator whispering?

The toxic lakes look beautiful tho

It really seems like a dangerous job! But the video was of high quality and detailed. Liked watching.

You gotta do whatcha gotta do to make it in this world 👍 Hats off to these men !

They signal him by cutting off his oxygen 💀oh my

BRO LITERALLY TELLS HIM “yep it’s tin” BY STOPPING OXYGEN.

God bless these Men

bruh, this looks like something straight out of Water World

It’s still crazy to me that governments haven’t figured out how to use willing workers instead of trying so hard to be so greedy that regular people starve.

Thank you for making this documentary such knowledge and awareness

interesting, there are discussions of harvesting manganese nodules from the deep sea for decades (was a basis for an episode in the old Sealab 2020 cartoon). this is something much closer but for both cases the environemental impact is a deep concern

They teach not to dive alone and use the buddy system. Perhaps they could team up. With two divers working back to back the pit should be a larger diameter and less likely to cave in. When the pit gets deep only one goes to the bottom and the other works higher while keeping an eye on the buddy. A safety rope from the diver to the hose or a buoy could pull the diver free or help the buddy locate and extract a buried diver. I hope they try the buddy system. It's safer with little or no cost. Maybe a little less productive, maybe not. For sure you're not alone down there.

Every time I watch one of these videos showing people around the world risking their lives daily for barely the basics, I look at the people in my country complaining about such petty things. These videos should be mandatory for every youth in the western countries, so they can understand TRUE hardships! And learn to appreciate the easy lives they’ve been born into!

*_One Danger not covered was divers getting the 'Bends'... Any time you are below 33 feet Nitrogen builds up._* The divers are working at about 2 Atmospheres of Pressure. Over time Nitrogen from Compressed Air saturate human tissues. Air is 79 percent Nitrogen. On really deep dives or long dives special gas mixtures are used to minimize Nitrogen buildup. These low cost operations do not follow normal safety protocols. At that depth, the diver can only stay underwater for about 45 minutes without having scheduled decompression stops on way back to surface. Since Nitrogen bubbles can form in or migrate to any part of the body, Bends can produce many symptoms, and its effects may vary from joint pain and rashes to paralysis and death. Bends often causes air bubbles to settle in major joints like knees or elbows, causing individuals to bend over in excruciating pain, hence its common name, the bends. Individual susceptibility can vary from day to day, and different individuals under the same conditions may be affected differently or not at all. The classification of types of Bends according to symptoms has evolved since its original description in the 19th century. The severity of symptoms varies from barely noticeable to rapidly fatal. *_Sometimes severe complications or death can result if a diver gets on airplane and it goes up too fast._*

such a famous channel should keep a good speaker who narrates

The voice over is awefull. Sounds like ASMR and way to "carefull"

Why is the narrator whispering and making it sound like erotica?!?!?!?!

Excellent piece

So now I know where the tin I use to solder comes from.

“I will work, forever as a tin miner, as long as there is enough tin to be mined.” -chilling

“To conquer the fear, I just pray for safety…” That’s deep!

Awesome documentary. This channel is very underrated.

Excellent craft! I like these kinds of videos.

Plz mainten the distence of mic or your mouth 👄

I hope they find better jobs that pay them more, won’t kill them, and doesn’t destroy the planet we live on.Also it’s awesome how hard they work to feed their families, wish the circumstances were better.

Wow that amazing work

It puts things into perspective watching this man trying to feed his family and make a living the best he can. I empathize with him but the toxic environment is destroying the planet.

please hire different narrator next time

Something is off about the narrators voice, I think she has a lisp and uptalk. Very unpleasant to listen to.

So obviously the government should be stepping in to provide for these people so that they no longer are so desperate to destroy their own eco system. Government should also clean up the acid pools.

Hat off for these guys😢

Next time you think you have it hard, be grateful and have patience with what you have.

It's difficult to feed one but this guy may end up with dozen children 😂

What a man... MashAllah may god protect you ❤

Stay safe miners.

If you live in America, you’re very blessed because other countries doesn’t have what y’all have!

Jocko dives so deep to escape this narrator's voice.

Que hermoso ❤❤❤

God Bless these People!

Man, and I thought I had a bad job 😞

Having dredged for gold in Nome, Alaska. I completely understand what these guys do. The respirator and the depth but Nome also has freezing waters. That adds a different dynamic to the dive.

great documentary 👍

Woww//intresting

Omg from that sulfur thing and now this ? We should be grateful for we have now

nothing but Respect

atleas give us some information so we can help them to improve their living conditions

May god always take good care this hard working man pray for him like i do always in my prayers blessed him and his familiy

Negara kaya tapi rakyatnya banyak yg miskin karena sifat korup para pejabatnya

They tell you they found tin in the stream by suffocating you 😂 What a life

Choppy water? Looks calm by the mining boats. The reef damage and having to travel farther to fish is probably more from the toxic run off from the land. I'm sure the dredge mining isn't helping, but seems less harmful

their process is pretty smart, hopefully they get better equipment for their safety

60 feet is 18 meters which is actually close to 3 times the pressure of the surface (not just twice)

Why is this narrated as if it's an erotic novel. Can you just speak at a normal cadence and stop drawing out every sentence for dramatic effect. It's bordering on unwatchable.

The narrator has been strange

Being a diver when searching for tin ore at a depth of tens of meters of land at the bottom of the sea is very risky, many people died due to stomach cramps, being crushed by landslides/large rocks and being hit by the propellers of production suction vessels, kudos to the divers, they worked hard to eat and survive for the sake of the family, not to get rich.

this actually looks kinda fun

Why does this narrator speak like she's whisper reading us a bedtime story? 😅😂

My question is what geological process created such large deposits in the area. There has to be a reason that Indonesia is the largest exporter of tin.

Inspiring story

What on earth!!!!! Couldn't of ever imagined!!

Living in poverty is so dangerous. It's heartbreaking.

This is was very fascinating and insightful video. I love how the wife greets her husband who risks his life every day for his family by KISSING his hand as sign of respect and appreciation. True love story that Hollywood almost never produces.

We do same type of mining in south africa, although we mine for diamonds mostly

We are so blessed

Why this vid is almost an ASMR ?

It's sad that he has to do such a dangerous job for 13 bucks a day. And even less than that when tin prices go down.

I don't know when this was filmed, 2023 tin prices have gone up to 35000 US dollars a tone, the buyers are ripping them off.

Really puts your rough day at the office into perspective.
