Wanted to visit cox&#x27;s bazaar for years. Knew a captain, man whose job was to beach the boat on a spring tide, drive it up the beach to be torn apart. He said from his perspective it was heartbreaking if necessary work.<p>Rosyth in Scotland was the kinder genteel version. Many good burgers of edinburgh have liner fittings at home.<p>Came close with a meeting scheduled in Dhaka since cancelled (covid) but came to understand, in looking into how, just how hard, and possibly unwelcome this is. The companies operating the yards certainly don&#x27;t want tourists and its very JG Ballard disaster tourism.<p>The plight of the workers is real. This is horrific toxic work. Lethal work.
