I live in the states and grew up poor by our standards use to free dive into rivers along the concho river for wild pearls in San Angelo Texas to make money unless you knew of it you’d never guess that was an option other than picking up cans this was the late 70’s . Eventually went into the oilfield and worked on completion rigs another job nobody talks about it’s fast and furious and dangerous but we’re the guys that bring the oil to the surface on land rigs .
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.

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.
Like most of other countries' citizen, we appreciate you more if a foreigner try to speak in our native language, even if it's just a single word. Would love to see you back in Jakarta, Todd.
Yeah Indonesian is not a hard language, especially if only for everyday use. Probably it was chosen/made so from malay by the forefathers to unite the diverse country.
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.
unfortunately when you start giving things away, you can potentially create new unpredictable issues. give free diving suits out, a higher percentage of people abandon other jobs in the community. Human nature is mostly geared around be driven to do things on a larger & larger more industrial scale, I think the happiest people I know live self sufficiently with no incomes.
The narrator's voice is a bit too unique for my taste. She's doing the normal INSIDER voice but with accented/ super strong SSSSSS and THHHHHHHH sounds
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!

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
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.
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.
The moments government involved they would have to heavily regulates due to its agreement with International charters. Best they can do is turn a blind eye so they at least have some income.
That is the problem my friend. Just like other Indonesian state own companies such as Pertamina, PAL etc, it is not that easy to apply for the Job. There is complicated test which is simply beyond the locals skill set. Most of the high ranking workers in PT. Timah comes from reputable universities graduate.
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.
Trying to pull a person buried in sand, even just their legs trapped, is very likely to kill or maim the diver. Those 4 dredges probably use their hoses together to free the diver by sucking up sand if it happens. They are all from the same village.
@@iamzuesthisisthetruth8864 I don't think they'd produce half as much. They might even get more working as a team. Plus one way you live and get company the other way not so much.
@@jeffarcher400 Sure, but unless they're gathering at least TWICE as much tin, they're making less money. And they're already barely surviving, so that's NOT an option.
Huge respect to this man. Where others around the globe of all backgrounds would leave their family to go somewhere else peacefully. He stays and works for his family. A man that truly loves his family would weather any storm. I hope when I have a family one day I can be like countless others who cares and provides.
*_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._*

If your voice is your job, it is quite important to be clear and direct. All I could hear was some whispering, so I was wondering if she was awake or not.
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.
It is all random chance. Nearly all elements were formed at the heart of a star. The water became rich with tin via runoff from rain and rivers (probably).
Keep your stupidity since my granny were a tin miner. What he earning indeed more than enough to secure a normal living, just the different my granny have license, what needed by them to sell at normal market value. Me from Malaysia. One day, their children and grandchildren will gain education and be someone even better than us. It just part of a lifecycle that meant to dig out something from beneath the floor, that one day needed for moonbirth. Nothing need to be ashame about his job cos mother nature valued their contribution and sometimes they hit gold as appreciation. NATURE is a self corrective system and knew how to fix the environment after human digged out, what needed by mother nature for 2nd moon survival. Now you understood, why human should not worries about the environment. Sample? Tree breath CO2 during the day but how the forest can survive, if human keep blocking the release of CO2? You need to use your brain, if you want to stop extreme heat and forest burning to create CO2
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.
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.
Why the hell would they pick someone with a lisp to narrate. I got about two minutes in and couldn't do it anymore. Possibly the most annoying thing I've heard today. Other than my own ramblings. 🙄
The main issue that i see with this poor workers is that they have 4 kids, if you're poor and don't have enough to feed you DO NOT HAVE ANY KIDS, you're just making your problem worst and now those kids have to suffer because of you.

unfortunately when you start giving things away, you can potentially create new unpredictable issues. give free diving suits out, a higher percentage of people abandon other jobs in the community.
Human nature is mostly geared around be driven to do things on a larger & larger more industrial scale, I think the happiest people I know live self sufficiently with no incomes.
@@morrisonmeister idk if you can call risking health and life every day a happy self sufficient job but okay.
Jocko dives so deep to escape this narrator's voice.
good thing his hearings aren't as good as when he started off-shore mining!
The narrator's voice is a bit too unique for my taste. She's doing the normal INSIDER voice but with accented/ super strong SSSSSS and THHHHHHHH sounds
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!
Forcing kids to listen to the narrator of this video would certainly be true hardship alright. If this was mandatory curriculum, you'd see a rise in the hearing impaired and pencil related ear injuries.
@@genericalfishtycoon3853 then that proves his point on how western countries complain about petty things, if you cant sit through a 12 minute video then your better off having no hearing at all
@@aaronjpg8170 No, it really doesn't. Find a different way validate your hatred of westerners, I'm sure you've fabricated many more while being too simple to understand the real issues. As if disapproval of the audio on a video means I deserve my hearing to be lost, what a barbaric backwards hole you must've crawled out of. I pity you.
It really dose make you stop and think about how lucky we are to just have basic things let alone our cellphones etc
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
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.
When your mic is inside your mouth.
Is that what it is? Her voice is annoying me and makes this hard to watch with sound.
Broooo
Amen!
Can we please donate safety equipment to joko🤷🏾♂️ he needs it and a raise if you ask me🤣🤣
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.
The moments government involved they would have to heavily regulates due to its agreement with International charters. Best they can do is turn a blind eye so they at least have some income.
That is the problem my friend. Just like other Indonesian state own companies such as Pertamina, PAL etc, it is not that easy to apply for the Job. There is complicated test which is simply beyond the locals skill set. Most of the high ranking workers in PT. Timah comes from reputable universities graduate.
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.
Trying to pull a person buried in sand, even just their legs trapped, is very likely to kill or maim the diver. Those 4 dredges probably use their hoses together to free the diver by sucking up sand if it happens. They are all from the same village.
Omg
Yeah but then you have to split the 13$
@@iamzuesthisisthetruth8864 I don't think they'd produce half as much. They might even get more working as a team.
Plus one way you live and get company the other way not so much.
@@jeffarcher400 Sure, but unless they're gathering at least TWICE as much tin, they're making less money. And they're already barely surviving, so that's NOT an option.
The narrator sounds like a ASMR video
Someone give this girl a glass of water
If you live in America, you’re very blessed because other countries doesn’t have what y’all have!
We don't have anything yo it's all a dream you have to be asleep to believe it
Did you mean dead by mass shooting and gun violence? Gun bless America.
@@StevenHanover OK George Carlin
All time high criminal rates and more mass shootings than ever? Yeah, truly blessed.
Only a handful of “Americans” have everything
BRO LITERALLY TELLS HIM “yep it’s tin” BY STOPPING OXYGEN.
I wonder why can't they have safety lines instead. It can send several different messages by pulling and even pull the diver in case of emergency
@@aldemiolavictoriano it'll cost more, you saw the dude's house, yeah?
Ok but her voice is trying too hard
bruh, this looks like something straight out of Water World
Great freaking movie
The toxic lakes look beautiful tho
Most poisonous things look beautiful in the beginning 😌
@@porothashawarma2339 damn.
The sea bed will be the next thing destroyed in Indonesia
beautifully deadly
Why does this narrator speak like she's whisper reading us a bedtime story? 😅😂
“I will work, forever as a tin miner, as long as there is enough tin to be mined.” -chilling
Huge respect to this man. Where others around the globe of all backgrounds would leave their family to go somewhere else peacefully. He stays and works for his family. A man that truly loves his family would weather any storm. I hope when I have a family one day I can be like countless others who cares and provides.
“To conquer the fear, I just pray for safety…”
That’s deep!
No its DUMB
@@gowdsake7103 you don't know sh!t boy
People are suffering.
Don't downplay that because you get to sit at a full table every night.
I can’t even watch this with the way she says those “s”. Goodness
No offense but the comentary sounds like asmr
*_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._*
They signal him by cutting off his oxygen 💀oh my
such a famous channel should keep a good speaker who narrates
Next time you think you have it hard, be grateful and have patience with what you have.
Exactly! Living in the West I cringe whenever I hear people say, “Oh today was the worst day of my life” and the story is literally about complaining of an order or traffic. People should always be grateful regardless of their situation because someone else is going through much worst.
Assalaamu Alaykum (Peace Be Upon You).
@@thinkbeforeyoutype7106 Wa alaikum Salam.
True, I've heard similar things.
@@Abuqital2000 Yea, we all just need to remind one another the importance of life and how lucky we truly are. I’m glad I came across your comment because you reminded me the importance of being grateful. Thanks brother.
I love the respect between him and his wife. True family values. ❤
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.
If your voice is your job, it is quite important to be clear and direct. All I could hear was some whispering, so I was wondering if she was awake or not.
So now I know where the tin I use to solder comes from.
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.
the earth is alive and we are eating the earth alive cancerously.
that is it's energy and body we do not put to grow just to take and harden the life inanimatly
It's basically tins that become an island
It is all random chance. Nearly all elements were formed at the heart of a star. The water became rich with tin via runoff from rain and rivers (probably).
Keep your stupidity since my granny were a tin miner.
What he earning indeed more than enough to secure a normal living, just the different my granny have license, what needed by them to sell at normal market value.
Me from Malaysia.
One day, their children and grandchildren will gain education and be someone even better than us.
It just part of a lifecycle that meant to dig out something from beneath the floor, that one day needed for moonbirth.
Nothing need to be ashame about his job cos mother nature valued their contribution and sometimes they hit gold as appreciation.
NATURE is a self corrective system and knew how to fix the environment after human digged out, what needed by mother nature for 2nd moon survival.
Now you understood, why human should not worries about the environment.
Sample?
Tree breath CO2 during the day but how the forest can survive, if human keep blocking the release of CO2?
You need to use your brain, if you want to stop extreme heat and forest burning to create CO2
I wish she would sound a little less doom and gloom... they are great, hard working men.
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.
Did you tell the voiceover artist this was an ASMR video?
Something is off about the narrators voice, I think she has a lisp and uptalk. Very unpleasant to listen to.
yeah, i fcking hate the sound
Great documentary. much respect for the divers. MOST ANNOYING NARRATOR VOICE EVER 🥵
I didnt know you can hear lisps
Nice documentary. But by the narrator sounds like a ghost story teller?
The narrater's voice is just wrong for this, very strange.
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.
the narrator is afraid she's going to wake up someone in her house.
It's like the narrator recorded her lines in the middle of the night, trying not to awake her family.
You gotta do whatcha gotta do to make it in this world 👍
Hats off to these men !
destroy the environment yeah hut hut the dollar
as a professional scuba diver this is insane. the amount of abuse he is putting on his body. breathing external gas at depth is deadly
Why the hell would they pick someone with a lisp to narrate. I got about two minutes in and couldn't do it anymore. Possibly the most annoying thing I've heard today. Other than my own ramblings. 🙄
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.
The narrators voice was so light and wispy it actually became annoying to listen to and I had to shut this off.
They had to choose a narrator with speech problems.... That's the only thing I managed to focus on 😂
Amazing documentary. Damn this is hard work...makes you appreciate the work you have & makes you strive for more like a side-hustle biz.
Why is the narrator whispering?
Really puts your rough day at the office into perspective.
The voice over is awefull. Sounds like ASMR and way to "carefull"
Why is the narrator whispering? Is this now an ASMR channel?
Why the narrator cant speak with a normal voice?
Great video as always... but narrator's voice doesn't sound natural.... doesn't have the energy like other Insider narrators....
Awesome documentary. This channel is very underrated.
Imagine waking up every day to a woman with a voice like the narrator’s…
The main issue that i see with this poor workers is that they have 4 kids, if you're poor and don't have enough to feed you DO NOT HAVE ANY KIDS, you're just making your problem worst and now those kids have to suffer because of you.
احلي شيء هو تحية الاسلام في الفيديو و زي الزوجة المسلمة و تقبيلها يد زوجها، فرحت جدا انهم مسلمين، ربنا يحفظهم و ييسر أمرهم.

can't be impressed, a job enough to feed himself, a wife, and 4 kids. Lucky man, keep hustling
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.
Wish mine did that.

@@robcanisto8635 Your response is beyond delusional since you missed the entire premise that MEN generally will do everything to provide and protect their families. Yet you’re somehow fixated about how his wife respect and appreciate him for that. I bet, you CAN’T even define what is a man or a woman is anymore due to idiotic nonbinary BS.
Get a life or continue to whine and cry on here as usual.
Yet the US is supposed to pay for going green when in reality the US is the most regulated and less in pollution
Living in poverty is so dangerous. It's heartbreaking.
Don't get fooled. Tin mining is good business. Just look at them, they are able to have sand sunction pontoon. I know bcz my friend comes from Bangka and He was former underwater tin Miner.
Why does that guy need 4 kids if he can barely feed them?
Why do you have a narrator with a lisp?
Wow only 40 perthent? Thaths methed up.
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.
May God protect these miners. Their work is priceless.
It's difficult to feed one but this guy may end up with dozen children 😂
Lmao
