My name is Elroy, I work in panama helping the United States build this massive canal. Why I am here I don't know. There are tens of people who dies everyday here, and many more hurt some even loose limbs. Some die from diseases such as Yellow Fever and Malaria. Sometimes people are working and hit a pocket of poisonous gas and get poisoned and die. If your like me you carry the dynamite to the blasting holes. Some people loose limbs on rail carts hauling materials and those guys are hurt for life if they do not die from infection. You have to be super careful, the smallest mistake could send me into a million pieces. I see a lot of my friends being blown up every day. Well time to go, my break is over.
