Why Hunting For 20-Million-Year-Old Petrified Wood Is So Dangerous In Indonesia | Risky Business

Man when I see the petrified wood miner it makes me feel so lucky to be in America with a nice house and good job

It’s Literally ALWAYS the Exact Same Story, These *Extremely Poor Brown* & *Black People Work Harder and in the Most Deadly Working Conditions for Literal Pennies!* All While Mining, Harvesting etc, Some of the Most Sought After Unbelievably EXPENSIVE Items that *Extremely Rich White* Business Owners Sell to other Rich White People for 1000’s of times the price these Poor workers were paid!!!!!!!

There is always a safer way to do things.

It's there because it was buried by a cataclysmic global flood that covered the earth in thousands of feet of water. Only a few thousand years ago.

I REALLY enjoyed all that magnificent petrified wood. BUT, WHO wrote the script? She says the fossils in Petrified Forest National Park, AZ are 200 MYO, "at a time when dinosaurs STILL roamed the earth"! There were FEW TO NO dinosaurs walking the earth 200 MY ago. She gave the average weight of a MEDIUM sized TRUCK (while showing a VAN) at 4,000! That's TWO TONS, which would classify as a very HEAVY DUTY truck.

What about SILICOSIS, which eats up their lungs, from breathing all that dust?

Wait, the earth war warmer? I guess cave men must have been careless with their carbon footprint.

"its part of the heritage of the planet!" YES! And you coopted it and are SELLING it in your STORE?! What the hell is wrong woth you lady??

I've learned about dinosaur fossils and things in school and have sense tried not to be "ignorant" about topics like archeology. But I'm 28 years old, and this video is the FIRST I'm hearing of trees becoming fossils. I always thought they either get cut and used, or somehow just age and rot away. 🤷‍♀️ Thank you, Business Insider! Always teaching me fun and sometimes even gross subject matter! 😅❤

Humans have been on this planet far far far longer then they let on.

There’s no such thing as 20 million year old wood.

😮😮bully the poor people sad

人間はとても貪欲な生き物です

America tisk tisk

Lmao, why would it be illegal to take some petrified wood? That's nobodys earth, land or wood. Nobodys or everybodys, but no one has the right to tell anybody, he isnt allowed to pick up wood there, wtf wrong with some people? I pick up as much as i want to.

Thanks for sharing.Wish the world were at piece and everyone get along live learn grow and stay peaceful.

Lmao this video had to make at least $10-25 thousand dollars😂

Workers of the world, Unite 💪☭✊

if this works for wood. would this also work for flesh? i saw many stones like fleshjunks....

When will an AI be able to do things like this and how much would it cost?

Reputation of corruption, extreme corruption

" I often feel short of breath" quit smoking then 😂

Ummm.. Where can i buy some? 🙄

Thanks White economy, y'all decte us to agree. And that's what we earn nowdays

❤❤❤❤

Stop using soeach impediment girl thats like hiring a blind person to drive nascar IT DOESNT WORK

If their wife opens a onlyfans they can stop working. I mean like their whole family.

Its so fucked up how the world works, the people that do all the hard dangerous work barely get any $$$ to even live comfortably meanwhile in america this shit is sold for Millions of Dollars even tho we havent done shit to help get it😢 God sees all and those who have done wrong and continue to do wrong in the shadows will answer to him when its their time

Thats why there needs to be fair trade policies in place. Its just really hard to set them up in developing countries like Indonesian which is sadly where they are needed most. Its not surprising they get so little. Even in super touristy areas in Indonesia, like Bali, local people get bugger all... Its sad.

i couldn't imagine toiling away in a mine risking my life just to get less than what people selling furniture get

All of this and millions of people don't even know you can create a fossil in a laboratory in as little as one day that's virtually indistinguishable from ones found in nature

The narrator tailing off each sentence with vocal fry is killing my soul.

i love how there were i think minecraft sound effects when he is entering the tunnel at 2:21

USA with its resources: you can rest assured our petrified wood is safe, mining is prohibited USA with the resources of others: OOO, DO YOU HAVE PETRIFIED WOOD TO SELL THERE?

It's crazy how this pieces of history only become an ashtray

Esse video mostra que tempos atras toda aquela região tinha uma floresta magnífica e hoje so um deserto . A terra esta perdendo muito da sua biologia e é buscar meios de recuperar o que se perdeu .

from the time that miner can walk all the way though his slaving life even at 68 he's still doing what he did as a kid. What a poor ole sole he's become working for so little to support him self and likely his wife and kids. It's such a sad world to see such hard-working people never seeing the easy side of life as they age.

Amazing!

liars

No such thing as 20 million years ago, whackadoodles. Did you know: GOD OF THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE CREATED EVERYTHING ABOUT SIX THOUSAND YEARS AGO. NO SUCH THING AS EVOLUTION AND BILLIONS OF YEARS OF AGO. DINOSAURS LIVED WITH MAN. FOLLOW ASTROPHYSICIST DR JASON LISLE✝️

This makes me sick

He owns his own house. Something that most Americans making even twice the minimum wage can't afford.

Lolololololol.. the earth is NOT 20 million years old!!

The cheapness of the wood is why they mine & work it there then ship it worldwide. People COULD buy American.

@8:20secs , this narrator said this wood was from 20 million years ago when the earth was warmer…… what was the worlds population then because today so many climate activists are saying the earth is getting warmer….yet back then it didn’t have all this and the earth was warmer….hmmm🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I live in India and we find this wood in tons in coal mines. My grandfather used to drive coal trailers to carry them to factories for processing. He used to say that it was a huge loss to the coal corporations. Petrified wood consists mostly of wood converted to quartz which doesn't burn at all and is thrown away or often workers take good specimens home for use . Once he told us that a huge petrified tree( probably was Himalayan cedar as identified from the fossilized leaves) was found . It was to be thrown away. But grandpa brought that huge stump and got a table built from it and a couple chairs. Nowadays, it is illegally shipped to the international market, and excavation of this stuff is banned.....

Bahaya bgt pak

Cck harus di hargai sangat mahal, pengorbanannya luar biasa
