At some point it becomes quite stupid. The scaphander has existed for centuries now. You could the job 10 times as fast with rudimentary tech.
Strongest American vs Normal Underwater Sand Miner from Africa
Swimming 300x a day and getting sand underwater with a steel bucket is already unbelievable. But what's terrifying is the muddy water that makes this job awfully hard.
$12 a day is way too small for such risky kind of work.
Please get this message to Elvis 's boss.
How EXPLOTED π€ βοΈ we have to help them. Contractors who they are.
They all look like professional athletes

HOW DO YOU SWIM UP WITH A BUCKET OF SAND. I CAN'T EVEN WALK WITH A BUCKET OF SAND
No man π¨ n earth should have took this hard. People these days always pump βif a man doesnβt work hard for 30 years then heβs NOT A MAN!!!β Gtf out of here with that. And Iβm guessing he barely gets by as well. Just heartbreaking to see people have to work there whole life just to barely make it and then die. How is that fair. Excuse me Iβm just going through the motions right now haha.
It hurts me when i see they do this without swimming googles π₯Ή. Respect for the guy
Glass –
Wow black people are so strong. π³ π€
So the guy who comes in with a couple of waste pumps and a barge would be a tycoon
"he can't see anything" under the water..? Obviously..?
4 hours a day? lazy part timer
I'm so sad that you have to do that for a living
And ppl wonder why land is sinking sand harvesting β¦. Canβt we use other materials? Like stone?
My friend used to mine sand, and he died in a quicksand.π’
No one talkin bout the bucket thatβs rough
Johnny Paycheck: "Take this job and shove it, I ain't workin here no more "!!!!π
And you simps believe everything online?
I tip my hat off to these guys, hard work, but, you aint mining 9 tonnes in 4 hours, no chance, the job these people are doing is WAY HARDER than that and 9 tones in 4 hours is crazy, i do not believe it for a second.
How deep do they dive, the weight of sand and water, the amount lost between dives on coming to the surface, i would expect a maximum of 4 tones, 6 at a push.
No way his name is Elvis
Why do they not finance industrial equipment a dredge boat could do a lot for these peoples backπ
Iβm calling bs on this. One man, in those conditions, brings up 18,000 pounds of WET sand. No. Bs
You know what? I don't give a $hit. If this guy made $28/hour nobody could afford to do whatever it is they do with that sand. Of course he's not paying $2200/month for his rent or mortgage, he's not paying several thousand bucks a year for health insurance or maybe $2000 a year for home and car insurance. Now should we talk about the cost of food, fuel and clothing in the first world. So stop complaining about this guy's situation. He probably has it better than most westerners.
So they're exploited there…and now you exploit them here for clicks and views=money. π’π€¦
I find it extremely hard to believe
Iβm not a wet sand expert but thatβs not 9 tons of sand
Why not go to the shore and get it there why dive to the bottom
I guarantee these dudes would beat any Olympic swimmers if they werenβt so poor the donβt even know what the Olympics is
WOW, INCREDIBLE. REALLY MAKES ME FEEL EVEN MORE GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL FOR ALL I AM BLESSED WITH ππΌβ¨ππΌππβ¨ππΌπ·π―οΈπ―
AND I SO MUCH MORE APPRECIATE THIS MANS HARD HARD WORK!
Bro we be mining sand while local desert got 8599999 tons of sand fr
You don't need more testosterone. You need to scoop more sand. And Elvis needs to own that canoe, damn. Not a good deal.
Where's the women wanting equal pay for equal labor here? π
