  • Losing a child has been described as the worst kind of loss anyone could possibly go through. In the May 12, 2008 earthquake that struck China’s Sichuan Province, nearly 70,000 people were killed, with many thousands more missing and likely dead. Among them, at least 9,000 of them were schoolchildren  who were crushed to death by falling school buildings. <br />
Why did so many schools collapse? Victims of family, most of them are farmers and migrant workers, suspect corruption was behind these poorly built schools, known  as "tofu construction.” The government promised further investigation initially but later most of the parents were forced to sign the agreement that they will accept money and will not further hold govenment accountable for further investigation.<br />
Yu Ming Fa, 36, holding a picture of his daughter Yu Huan, 10, is seen at a rabbit house at Fuxin No.2 Primary  School in Wufu, Sichuan province. Yu is angry about a rabbit house. "School can feed rabbits to make money. It pays more attention to rabbit business  than safety of children.”

  • Ship breaking yards are the last resting place for end of life ships. At these yards, ships are scrapped, primarily for their steel content. <br />
Until 1980s, ship breaking took place in the developed countries such as the United States, UK, and Europe. Today, however, most ship breaking yards are in developing nations, principally Bangladesh, China, and India, due to lower labor costs and less stringent environmental regulations dealing with the disposal of lead paint and other toxic substances.<br />
Every year 600-700 sea vessels are brought to the beaches of Asia for scrapping and 52% of large ships are scrapped in Bangladesh.<br />
Workers have no unions, no safety equipment, and no training. About 50 are said to die in accidents each year; often in explosions set off by blowtorches deep inside the fume-filled holds. <br />
