The narrator sounds like a headspace coach, it takes away all the danger from the clip😂

This is how hard people work, they're not trying to be rich. They just want to feed their family... Respect to all these guys who work so hard for their family. May god protect them

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.

The voice over is not meant for such documentaries.. 🙏

The kiss of the hand from his wife made me emotional knowing how happy she is to see her husband safely back home. For such types of jobs we say thanks to God if our loved ones return back home. Some never do.

Always amazing to see video of other careers, places, people around the world. Makes you appreciate what you have even when things gets rough

Much respect to these miners and their families! I cannot imagine having to do such dangerous things just for survival of self and family.

The voiceover for this could have been done in Descript and you would have ended up with a more human sounding voice. 👌

We didnt need this to be an asmr video

the person talking she is treating this like a ASMR documentary whispering the whole time 😂

"safety is too expensive". That is the small print written on every cooperate job contract

"I will work till death because of the responsibility I have of my family" What a real gentleman and a genuine tough guy!

When your mic is inside your mouth.

if life gives you lemon, you make lemonades, so at this point instead of waiting for stocks to crash or recovery, focus on how to profit off the current market, Bloomberg, WSJ, BBC business(just to mention a few) have been recording cases of folks averaging 350k in 12weeks, so there's money being moved around if you know where you're looking.

Indonesia is the only country in the world that sits in The Ring of fire, very rich in minerals due to volcanic openings and their seismic activities that opened up the earth crust 24-7... The Tin ore in Bangka comes from activities in their southern Mount Krakatoa the largest underwater Volcano in Asia that met their inland Sumatera Mount Barisan that also rich in Coal and Nickel deposits... No matter how corrupted the government is, Indonesia's earth crust will keep pouring out various kind of minerals and sprouting spices literally forever...

when you’re so fascinated by your own voice you forget you’re narrating

The video seems interesting but the narrator's voice makes me feel uncomfortable.

Really makes you appreciate your job that's for sure. It's crazy that it's actually illegal what he's doing but it's his only hope. Oh and I've seen a lot of toxic lakes caused by mining and they are always so beautiful, of course its a terrible thing but they get pretty wild looking.

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.

The resilience of people in this country despite all the difficulties and challenges!

He risks his life every day to provide for his family. That is a real man. Respect.

Something is off about the narrators voice, I think she has a lisp and uptalk. Very unpleasant to listen to.

Why are you whispering? Is there a sleeping baby next to you when you recorded this narration?

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 whispering voice over killed it for me

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.

Amazing documentary. Damn this is hard work...makes you appreciate the work you have & makes you strive for more like a side-hustle biz.

The toxic lakes look beautiful tho

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.

BRO LITERALLY TELLS HIM “yep it’s tin” BY STOPPING OXYGEN.

Can we please donate safety equipment to joko🤷🏾‍♂️ he needs it and a raise if you ask me🤣🤣

The narrator sounds like a ASMR video

bruh, this looks like something straight out of Water World

“I will work, forever as a tin miner, as long as there is enough tin to be mined.” -chilling

You gotta do whatcha gotta do to make it in this world 👍 Hats off to these men !

Video is interesting, but immediately turn away when heard her voice... totally nightmare

Someone give this girl a glass of water

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.

They signal him by cutting off his oxygen 💀oh my

Next time you think you have it hard, be grateful and have patience with what you have.

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!

*_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._*

“To conquer the fear, I just pray for safety…” That’s deep!

interesting, there are discussions of harvesting manganese nodules from the deep sea for decades (was a basis for an episode in the old Sealab 2020 cartoon). this is something much closer but for both cases the environemental impact is a deep concern

If you live in America, you’re very blessed because other countries doesn’t have what y’all have!

Awesome documentary. This channel is very underrated.

It really seems like a dangerous job! But the video was of high quality and detailed. Liked watching.

It's difficult to feed one but this guy may end up with dozen children 😂

No offense but the comentary sounds like asmr

Thank you for making this documentary such knowledge and awareness

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

They tell you they found tin in the stream by suffocating you 😂 What a life

Why is the narrator whispering and making it sound like erotica?!?!?!?!

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.

Excellent craft! I like these kinds of videos.

God bless these Men

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.

The voice over is awefull. Sounds like ASMR and way to "carefull"

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.

What a man... MashAllah may god protect you ❤

Choppy water? Looks calm by the mining boats. The reef damage and having to travel farther to fish is probably more from the toxic run off from the land. I'm sure the dredge mining isn't helping, but seems less harmful

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.

60 feet is 18 meters which is actually close to 3 times the pressure of the surface (not just twice)

So now I know where the tin I use to solder comes from.

Jocko dives so deep to escape this narrator's voice.

Man, and I thought I had a bad job 😞

great documentary 👍

Really puts your rough day at the office into perspective.

Why is the narrator whispering?

Ok but her voice is trying too hard

Excellent piece

such a famous channel should keep a good speaker who narrates

Living in poverty is so dangerous. It's heartbreaking.

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.

their process is pretty smart, hopefully they get better equipment for their safety

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.

Why does this narrator speak like she's whisper reading us a bedtime story? 😅😂

It's sad that he has to do such a dangerous job for 13 bucks a day. And even less than that when tin prices go down.

We do same type of mining in south africa, although we mine for diamonds mostly

May God protect these miners. Their work is priceless.

Can you please show locations on the maps while discussing about them🙏

Omg from that sulfur thing and now this ? We should be grateful for we have now

May god always take good care this hard working man pray for him like i do always in my prayers blessed him and his familiy

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

nothing but Respect

May Allah bless him and his family and give them and us Rizq from himself.

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.

These are the people we should helping good people working just to feed their families

Negara kaya tapi rakyatnya banyak yg miskin karena sifat korup para pejabatnya

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.

God Bless these People!

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

Plz mainten the distence of mic or your mouth 👄

This is very sad with all that hard work and putting his life in danger what he's getting is nothing from all that hard work may the almighty Allah halp this people through their government

Hat off for these guys😢

true man you sir.

As a trained SCUBA diver I have an appreciation for the safety aspects of venturing underwater. This poor guy has primitive gear, there appears to be no understanding of compression at depth and the affects it will have on his health unless his return to the surface is very controlled, which it appears not to be the case. His life span is going to be very short if he keeps this up.

Why this vid is almost an ASMR ?

Pray for these miners to come back home safely to their family after each trips 🤲🏻

Stay safe miners.
