Even before reading your comment, I was thinking how empty the "industrial accidents" sections on sites like LiveLeak would be without India and China.

I am never ever in my life going to those places. Death lurks in every corner of their infrastructure.

And you'll have to pardon me for drawing a connection between the plummeting standards in Western construction and the foreign workers - predominantly Indian - flooding this sector. It's not a coincidence.

Not sure where you live, it's worth noting that India and China combined have 8x the population of the United States, so certainly we'd expect something like 8x the number of "industrial accidents" there. Perhaps more, since we've offshored so much of our industry.

It's not so much the frequency as the nature of the accidents. There is an astonishing lack of regulations, safeguards, and standards (especially in Chinese videos) combined with an astonishing lack of situational awareness, foresight, and humility (especially in Indian videos).

Of course America has its unique videos too. Every place has its problems, that's what I find interesting about it. I like the unfiltered view into the underlying culture and psychology in these places that only "gore" videos can provide.
