Every day trucks add up to 800 metric tons of waste to quivering piles of tattered cloth, leftover food and the ubiquitous plastic water bottles. Virtually the only waste management at Suwung comes in the form of scavengers who brave the heat to comb through the mountains of trash for anything salable.

Waterboarding is a form of torture that involves tipping a person back, placing a cloth in his or her mouth, and then repeatedly pouring water into the cloth to simulate the feeling of drowning.
