I Spent a Day Inside Sri Lanka’s Deadly Underground Mines 🇱🇰
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Today, I will be investigating Sri Lanka’s deadly gem industry in Ratnapura where gem miners risk their lives for just $0.50 per day. And their dream? Finding a gem that could change their life forever
Before diving in, I had to try Areca nut (Betel Nut), the local "caffeine hit," and trust me, it was... intense! Once inside the mine, we faced the threat of collapsing walls, toxic gases, and relentless rain and then I investigated how the gems go from mine to market
Stick around as I dig deep into this dangerous world, uncover shocking realities, and try my luck at finding a gem!

Love your video's ❤❤😊
I am not risking going to a poor country full of malnourished and starving people abandoned by the powers that be! Ali you should stay there and be in their tribe leader.
can you come to negombo
to my house by bus or train i live in negombo
Please be safe you should visit the mines in Bolivia even children work there . Be safe Ali inshallah!!
welcome to Gem City Of Sri Lanka
Poora❤
yo this is no longer a vlog but a documentary. good stuff ali
I am coming to Sri lanka soon
I agree with you Ali. Their story is ultimate depiction of “blood diamond”. I have always thought that the workers are paid so unfairly while the big companies and rich diamonds exporters earning so much. :( it’s so unfair. Thank you for another awesome highlight into other people’s life and their hardship. You are an awesome person ali machan 💪 ❤
Bro is risking his life for us amazing guy
Seen a vlogger do this same thing last year. Interesting stuff and Sri Lanka is always an interesting country. Seems like a popular destination for vloggers. My neighbors are Sri Lankan and from time to time I ask them about their country.
This video gets more than 1M views for sure. ❤
Sir Ali, I was deeply moved when you handed money to the Workers to make their day a little bit easier. 😢 Thank you Sir!!! ❤🇸🇬
Thank you so much, Ali Machan, for everything you’re doing for Sri Lanka! 🇱🇰 I'm a Sri Lankan living in Japan, and it's been really hard to get things done back home, but hopefully, I’ll return to Sri Lanka in about 5 years. If you come to Sri Lanka again when I'm back, you're invited to my house! 😊 If you come to Osaka anytime soon, I’d love to meet up! Much love and respect ❤✨ #visitsrilanka
Hi👋 Ali machan , i love your videos ❤️👍 they are the best 🔥👌 , thank you for sharing 🙏 🥰 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

nice adventures video my friend that's why we adicted to your videos my friend ali nice video Mr ali Hari from INDIA
I would say you're the best vloger with kind heart. This is how people who live in Sri Lanka, yes of course they are poor but very innocent people, that's why you gave the money to them. As loking your videos feels me little bit sad without your friends like Mac, Luke Harry, Travis as well. Stay safe and keep going Ali machan.
Hello ali am from India Meghalaya 👏🏿🙏🏿
WoW, What a thoughtful documentary video to show us & feel for some people how work so hard for their families, their countries & actually for the all people around the whole world 🌎 🙌🤲🙏 🇱🇰 great content our favourite Ali Machan 🙏😍📽️🙌

🥰✌️✌️
Hello machan alli
Your documentary style is vastly improving man. Great journalistic work and such a unique video concept, helping to showcase an interesting subject and show appreciation for the hard Sri Lankan workers ❤🇱🇰👏
Great work Ali Machan👏👏👏
Love from Japan❤❤❤
Omg. What a documentary Ali. 😍 Props for you to entering the mine. Honestly it was hard for me to breathe properly even watching it, let alone going there. I think my phobia of small spaces, that I wasn’t sure existed, was triggered watching it. God bless those people. They are real heroes for putting their lives out there every single day. I wish the supply chain was fairer and their lives were a bit better. 😢
I don’t know where you get these new documentary ideas. Looking forward for many more. And don’t forget to film your usual market hunts and food stuff too once in a while. 🖤
Ali 🐘🇮🇶 Machan 🇱🇰
Ali is a freaking SAVAGE!!!! The stuff you do for our entertainment its insane!! Be safe brother! ❤

Props to you showing this side of Sri Lanka brother. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay once again in Sri Lanka and keep feeding the information that we do not get to see everyday. Much respect!
I love how you didn't hesitate to see the world through those people's eyes, knowing all the risks and dangers. I mean I wouldn't go down there. Keep it up Ali.
🤩 whatsup brother nice to see you doing video's again 🤭
Miners in Australia make a minimum of $1000 a week and they have nice accommodation provided as well as a canteen with good food. They get regular holidays and their air fares are paid for by the company. They are flown in to work and flown out for their holidays every few months.
Yep I make $2,400 AUD a week take home, work 2 weeks on 1 week off 🤪
The minors at Diddy party only get baby oil....
When you going Bangladesh bro and we need some Saudi vlogs too

Almost first!!!
Almost first
Wow nice
First
Hi😊❤
Im really really unhappy wit the wages those workers get for a day .. how can they manage their family wit just 50cents a day ...😢
50 cents a day isnt their entire income. They get a certain percentage from the gems that they find and sell, so in the end its actually not too bad(still really bad for the work they do but its a livable salary here). It also depends on what gems they manage to find, if they find a very valuable gem then its a much bigger pay day but at the same time if they don't find anything anything valuable they earn pretty much nothing.
Yes its hard..but if they fund a good valueble Gem stone they get a cut as a share...worth more than 100-1000$😍
❤
🇱🇰❤️
💪💪💪

මචං අලී කවද්ද අවේ..😊

Another banger with Ali, letsssss gooooooooo
Amazing video bro Ali. First of all welcome back in Sri Lanka. We are very happy to watch all your videos from the beautiful island Sri Lanka. Greetings from Coventry UK.
Ali: don’t inhale this dangerous gas *takes the biggest whiff* 😂😂
dude u just gave away a gem probably worth 500USD out side Sri Lanka....good man
god will bless you the way you bless them with some sort of financial assistance. Great job man. May god bless you
ohh..you finally came to visit my town too😍...Welcome to Rathnapura😃😊
Hopefully u help them rice grocery idol because they all pity they no choice do this to living 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Thank you Ali for the documentary!
Omg 😨Be careful Mister Ali so dangerous!!!
Ali you are truly amazing for giving back to the people! I appreciate what you do bro may god bless you.
Found your channel today while doom scrolling UA-cam for a good vid to watch while eating lunch. Happy to say that I wasn't disappointed! Great stuff Ali truly amazing work, you gained yourself a new subscriber 😊
Interesting new format: vlog/documentary.
Ali brother, Reality shapes our understanding of inequalities of life.
Going down the mining pit is a dangerous gamble to take with no guaranteed result of finding a precious gem to able them to put food on their table and secure a better life for their family. 💪🔥❤️
Thank you for documenting their struggles as policy makers should seriously take the reality of how poverty hurt people and create a policy programs/solutions to redeem their economy.
God Bless you Ali Machan for sharing them some of your blessings...
I never see any UA-camr like u I think u are the best pls do more content helping people don’t changes never Ali ❤
Ali not afraid to go above and beyond for us subscribers and his own personal desire to learn thing's around the world, Champion 👏👏👏👏
I wish I was a rich man. Imagine being able to go to that mine and bless everyone with like 500$ each or something
This is why I don't buy any type of gems, gold, silver, or any of that crap.
Fantastic video bro. You definitely have a special connection with Sri Lanka and the people. Can’t wait for the next one!
Plz ali help this people i hear sri Lanka a lot of poorly so sad 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Ali bro come to kilinochchi
the men with great heart will helps like this really I watched a great man's videos I feel very proud to see Ali's videos nice video's Ali respect you hari from INDIA
I was there myself last year, lasted about 15 minutes before i had panic attack from all the water and closed spaces...
I think the rich people who buy these gems should be made to watch Ali video and start donating money to the miners who risk their lives everyday.
Bro love the video really puts things into perspective! I appreciate you giving them $16 each as this is more than their months wage! You have made a lot of families very happy that day, and admire good people that do good things like you! cheers
Gem mining is very dangerous but they need to do some job to support Their families ❤
To earn a living, they have to do those difficult tasks. Just to watch the process of getting gems, they need to go through the eye of the needle for 50 cents per day. Salute to all the people who need to do difficult jobs just to put food on the table. Respect to all!
Thank you for risking your life to entertain and educate me
dude you constantly put out the absolute best content. i wish there were 5 of you so I could watch more. keep it up man! im loving it.
Alii❤❤❤ careful always with your crazy ass😂
