The host seems mocking about Bangladesh & kept saying "POOR COUNTRY LIKE BANGLADESH" again & again.....What the hell man??? We are building one of the longest bridge in the world over river with our own money, costing almost 2 BILLION dollars. Even then if we are poor then at least I wouldn't like to hear it from you again & again.

Ocean water oil change nechararal problem with fusear

[@fishpest2039]

major shame it's such a polluted area and effluent environment, the future costs to the waters and sea creatures will be devastating, abutting lands contaminated for the sake of cheap immediate gain. future resources destroyed. How are they ever going to clean up all the trash, metal filings and pieces, oils etc. No-one will ever be able to use the waters flowing outwards for all eternity. If the ships engines are now fuel efficient, who would want to buy them

[@briansokoloski776]

Every ship must have lots of restaurant equipment also coffee machines and stoves and fridges

It's a scrap yard. No need to get excited like a special needs child.
BTW the most immediate safety improvement would be to issue sun glasses to the torch cutters and mandate they wear them. You can cut much faster when you have a ~Shade 5 lens between you and the flame. It would prevent eye damage, speed production and benefit all concerned. Indian companies produce plenty of inexpensive personal protective equipment. It's a false economy not to use it even if your laborers are expendable.
