Popped up on my YT suggested the other day. The gold deposits lay underneath the water table and they dive in the shafts with just a hose in their mouth hooked to a compressor. Looks like a lot of them don't even use goggles and I think one of those dive lights was a flashlight wrapped in a plastic bag.
It's sad to know that people are so stuck in poverty that they have to risk their lives like this every day. Basically every scene where they're mining whether above or underwater looks like death is imminent.
Whenever I see this kind of stuff I wonder if there's something that could be done to educate or supply "informal miners" certain equipment that could aid recovery or improve safety at least. Any 3rd world country with gold has many people that live the same reality.
