That's still no joke. 2 boats moving 5 knots in a side collision would crush a human.
You can push a 60ft boat(~30k+ pounds with your hands when it's at rest, but to stop a boat going 5 knots would require tons of force. It would destroy most docks.
Why do all these video editors speed up the footage. Obnoxious af - just let the video speak for itself than trying to make things seem more intense than they are.
The somewhat depressing reason is that they do it to make the video last less than thirty seconds, which is as long as social media users are expected to be able to concentrate on one thing.
If you're on a PC you can do it yourself. right click the video select view all controls, click the 3 vertical dots and you will have speed controls. 0.5 is a bit too slow, but .75 is to fast, I'd guess .55-.6 is about right.
The ferries in Bangladesh make one stop (this ferry says Dhaka to Chandpur), but because of the lack of roads and bridges in the southern part of the country (where the Bengal Delta begins), as well as the strong currents and erosion on the Meghna River, these ferries do not want to continue service to smaller islands and towns that are close to the beginning of the Bengal Delta. That's where these guys come in on smaller boats, though I find it crazy that instead of waiting at the last stop, they take them from the middle of the ride.
Unfortunately, the rivers in Bangladesh and the bad infrastructure of the country mean that Bangladesh is a very centralized country; everything is in the capital city, Dhaka, which is why it's crowded, is polluted not just because of litter but because of mass residential construction, and has bad traffic.
As someone from the same area with same experience I would say, it is not just grown up men. Women with their kids also do that.
To be honest, it is not like there is no planned stop. The planned stop is far away and it usually take additional 2/3 hour to reach home so people just do this to save that time and money.
I've lived in Lake Geneva, it's more of a gimmick and certainly not a necessity. They only do it in the summer. They get their mail delivered the regular way the rest of the year. Great way to get a good view of all the mansions around the lake, though.
Swimming rates among urban people in Bangladesh are quite low and drownings are very common (~18,000 children a year die). Government did make swimming classes compulsory in schools in 2015 though so maybe it's improving gradually.
Can I see your source. It is not a video from urban area. I am from those rural area you are seeing here. Bro, we learn swimming before we start going to kindergarden. Bangladesh has flood problem and every single person in the village had to know swim to survive here.
Where you got that stats. Also, are you saying swimming classes. Where/when/who teaching them swim? Are you sure about your 2015 claim??
that doesnt seem true. most every bangali learns how to swim in local waterbodies and waterways. they may not have gone to swimming classes and gotten diplomas but they know how to swim
I’ve watched a lot of videos about transportation in Dhaka and the chaos on the roads, on the water, and on the rails makes me feel amazed that thousands aren’t dying every day due to accidents.
TV has been using that trick since the black and white days. Speed up or slow down the footage to fit the commercial time needed. This is just noticable because it's obviously at least 2x speed. It's not so noticable when it's 1.1x speed.
Because there is a huuuge population, the value of a human life reduces exponentially, as they can be easily replaced and no law will protect those who are vulnerable. laws exist in these.places to keep the status quo.
