From Ladles of Molten Metal

"Eight thousand miles from Manhattan, barefoot, shirtless, whip-thin men rippled with muscle were forging prosaic pieces of the urban jigsaw puzzle: manhole covers."

A story by Heather Timmons and J. Adam Huggins for The New York Times.

Watch the multimedia presentation here.

A poignant story on the conditions and safety of workers in a small city in India where they manufacture the manhole covers used on New York city streets.
