7 Places on Earth Where the Job Can Kill You in Minutes

A mine four kilometers underground where the rock reaches 60°C — and the company has to manufacture thousands of tons of ice every day just so the men at the bottom can breathe. A research station where, for nine months of the year, no aircraft on Earth can come and get you. Not for an injury. Not for anything. A steel chamber in the North Sea where divers live at ocean pressure for 28 days, breathing helium, unable to open the door. These are seven places where a different law of nature is trying to kill the workforce — heat, poison, pressure, altitude, isolation, radiation — and where an enormous amount of engineering exists for one reason: to hold that law off for a single shift. Most of the people doing these jobs aren't adventurers. They're there because it pays, and because the alternative pays less. #Extreme #Survival #Documentary
