You Wouldn't Believe What They Have To Do For $8/Day 😳

  • These miners work for $8/day in sulphuric and volcanic conditions sacrificing their lungs and bodies as they carry immensely heavy loads of sulphur balanced on small wooden baskets on their shoulders for 12+ hours per day! Considering the conditions, the lack of gear, and how low the wage is, this has to be the hardest job in the world. But these brave miners learn to work with the incredibly challenging obstacles in their way to provide food for their families.
    They work inside the Mt. Ijen volcanic crater in East Java, Indonesia. Once they complete the difficult task of climbing the volcanic crater to the top, they have to break the sulphur into small pieces, bag it, and put it in a trolly. At that point they decide if they are done for the day, or if they go back into the volcano to do it again. These miners are truly an inspiration, and I really hope to get back there soon to share more of their story.
    A social thank you to my friend Iain (@Iainwith2eyes_) who faced two days of hard conditions and sulphur gas with me to capture this story and share it with you.
    And a very special thank you to Yudi (@wahyudicuy_) for sharing this incredible story with us and taking us around the volcano. I plan to head back to Ijen Volcano to share more of the story and with your help try to bring more awareness to the situation, and hopefully get the miners masks and better care. If you would like to follow more of my adventures or ask questions about these miners please feel free to follow my instagram @michaelmakesfilms and dm me any questions.Thank you for watching, and please share this video to help me bring more awareness for these miners.

    Thanks Micheal to share this for us. I've been there before about 4 or 5 months ago. I was crying coz the sulfur blocks my eyes, and also I can't breath. I was thinking that day is the last day for me. After all I just imagine how the local people (para prnambang) can survive everyday without attributes to make their self save.
    I hope the better things will come to make their life better.

    “In 2017, 41 U.S. workers died on the job after a single episode of inhaling chemicals and chemical products.” Some of the worst offenders included carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, coal, natural gas, petroleum products, and methane gas. “Inhaling carbon monoxide led to the most fatalities” from 2011 to 2016.
    But inhalation is not the only way someone can be exposed to and made sick by chemical exposure. Some estimates suggest “more than 13 million workers in the United States are potentially exposed to chemicals that can be absorbed through the skin.” Dermal exposure to hazardous substances can lead to skin diseases and systemic toxicity.
