Why Miners Risk Limbs To Carve Mountains Of Limestone In Egypt | Big Business | Business Insider

Why don't they just dig it up and put it on a truck? just like normal mining

Just the other day, I watched a video where there was a Gen-Z girl in tears after her first day at work and her 40hr week...at an office...in a city..in the USA. This film should be required viewing for every American college student before their first classes.

if a cloth mask works for covid it should work for that.

Amazon sells limestone dust for geopolymer bricks

Pumice creet cement from limestone dust lasts thousands of years and it floats it's better than adobe brick only thing better is flyash brick and granite blend cement geopolymer from aggrogates

All that quarry dust is used for making hydraulic lime geopolymer and or granite dust infused cement bound by furnace cement and natural apixy rosin from plants to bind granuals

Very interesting....🎉

its crazy those blades have to be resharpened multiple times a day. and here we are in america using a Diamond blade that will probably last 10x longer and does not need sharpening ..it sharpens itself :D technology GAP is crazy

someone get them a clear saw cover, new wire organizing tookit, and sawdust mask, and hardhats.

10 mins. video of mostly about how dangerous the circular saw is and the badassery of the workers, and a few minutes about the actual workflow and the limestone itself. not much to expect from primitive snackbars as always.

With little investment on filtering equipments that can capture and store in containers that cloud of dust filling the air as it's done in the lumber industry, a lot of more return can gained economically, environmentally and health-wise.

insane!

Theirs jobs at burger King for 15 dollars an hour here in n.c.....money wise it's the same thing...just enough to get by

What's crazy to me is, if we all worked together, we could all eat and be happy..

Watch the accuracy of them throwing the stones up to the truck… I now understand how the pyramids are built.

Shocking 😢

I'm never complaining about my life ever again. Wow. This job is awful.

Cloth mask stop tiny viruses I'm sure dust won't pass through.

They do the hard work for 6$ but the stones are sold for so much more. It would take nothing for the owners to provide better gear but they know people are desperate to support their families and would work for less.

Money > Health; it’s been that way since at least Roman Times and well before. Nothing really new right.

Could the Stones be cut with Lasers or Water Pressure instead of Saws?

How much does it cost per block from the local store?

I worked in an archaeological project in that region. they also cut pieces the size of a shipping container, those are scattered alongside the military road, reminding of truck accidents that happened on those dangerous streets. in some areas where the limestone is processed you dont see anything but smoke from a desert full of chimneys.

In the US $6 is just a little but in poor countries like India or Egypt, $6 is a lot of money.

Only a white liberal in the United States could make these statements In their protected little world either in their heated air conditioning office Or in their mom and dad's basement not somebody that ever had to actually work for living

this man is too fuckin cool getim out

Who else is going to do the work?

Anyone…anyone…

History repeated itself
They have been cutting limestone for the last 7000 years
The only difference is the tools they are using

Quarry not mine

Where's all the women? Is the lgbtq community there as well?

Don’t tell blm ! because they are wearing White supremacy masks

How many times you going to repeat the same thing? We get it, it’s dangerous.

Another nosy bleeding heart liberal that would love to tell other people how to run their business of spirit

They need to form a union, and all quit at once until they get better wages, safety and health care. If they are profiting that many billions, they should have enough to go around

Someone get that man a pair of gloves, that string finger thing was wild.

"We are forced to do this job"
No you arent, first of all noone forced you to breed.
stop crying, its not going to help.

Oh wow, it's almost like the masks don't work

this is framed so poorly. "The wage is so low! the conditions are so harsh! their gear is so bad! omg the govt tried to shut it down but can't because people need to work! whaaaaa!" they choose it all. they could improve, they could use better madks, make more safety measures, etc. they don't. they probably won't. why is that someone's fault?

It's funny how you want to make information videos using hamburgers*square football fields units of measure.

Anyone else think at first glance that they were working in the snow?

OSHA HAS ENTERED THE CHAT

I’d really like to just watch the video about the miners and what they’re doing without hearing some millennial narrator attempt to make every single aspect of the work a potential atrocity to humanity
“They ride in a small truck, some workers have even fallen off”
“They leave before dawn, which means it’s still dark, which means there’s no light, which means that most of these workers can’t even see.”
Please grow up.

"when u have wife and kids u are forced to do this" haha whos idea was to get a wife and kids😂

The egypt circular saw massacre - now in 3D

Horrible working conditions. How is this still legal? Should stop this practice... And the workers better protective gear

Why are they wearing winter jackets in 110 degree weather wear shorts and a tshirt the heck tards

God bless you all men of destiny. Across the world, different land people and culture, same struggles is what unites us.

Billion dollar industry and they wearing barley any safety equipment
