Chittagong, Bangladesh: Ships being wrecked at a ship breaking yard in Sitakundu, near the port city Chittagong, Bangladesh on January 7, 2019. Sitakundu is one of the world's largest ship breaking yard. More than 200,000 people are working in 109 ship breaking yards as they take apart entire ships with their hands. The ship breaking industry began in the 1960s and 70s after a ship washed up on Sitakunda beach and was later sold for scrap. © Rehman Asad / Alamy Stock Photo
