More Police Have Now Died From 9/11 Caused Illness Than From 9/11 Itself

There's plenty of asbesto around in alot of older buildings. The VA buildings out here have asbesto tiles on the floor in most of them. I laid alot of glue down carpet over asbestos tile there. When you find broken tiles the have a has mat guy come buy and pick up the pieces. Navy ships used the same tiles they have at the VA. Most of the older 12 by 12 tiles have asbestos in them according to my old boss. He's been a flooring contractor for over 50 years so I'll take his word for it.

That asbestos tile sometimes doesn't want to come up easy either. Like I said, unless it has fibers flying through the air it's best to just leave it alone and cover it up. I think they even made ceiling tile out of asbestos.

My dad was a plumber it's not what you know it's who lol

Yup. That's why we have idiots in charge.

It's the WTC towers that were full of asbestos...

It's the heat treating on the steel beams. Ironically to protect the steel from getting soft from a fire. It's one of those shit happens moments. It could have been way worse. The towers could have tipped over and did a lot more damage. I'm sure in the whole confusion of everything nobody was thinking about asbestos. They probably were worried about more attacks coming in. People were shitting bricks that day.

If that happens again they'll try a little harder to evacuate the buildings. I'm guessing everytime a plane veers of course or loses communications with the air traffic controllers nowdays they get a military escort untill they're sure they haven't been hijacked. I'm sure they'd sacrifice a plane full of people before they'd let that happen again.

Mine too. Panicked customers would always ask him if their health was in jeopardy with all of the asbestos wrapped around the pipes in their basement. He'd say something like "only if your downstairs smacking it with a tennis racket and inhaling it."

Blame Canada...we still mine the shit and sell it to 3rd world countries...

What's really fucked is that there is a town in Quebec named after that shit. I'm pretty sure Asbestos, QC is not known for its fine dining.

Our country can't even run a healthcare system or balance a budget. It's a broken government. I have zero faith in it.

LOL! Yeah people act like asbestos is radioactive and will give them radiation poisoning or something. You don't want to snort asbestos and you don't want to snort silica sand. Oh and coal dust. Don't want black lung disease.

Not %100 sure but I think Quebec stopped a few years ago.

I remember some union material coming through my local attacking the decision..I recall us thinking how do defend keeping them open.

Just checked. Closed in 2013.

No, it's known for its abestos mines.

Well if you are from Newcastle it was probably named because someone built a new castle there. LOL! New in being centuries ago.

Well if you drive into a place called Bad Pussy, Nevada, keep on driving.

Yip

The city grew up in the area that was the location of the Roman settlement called Pons Aelius,[6][7] and it owes its name to the castle built in 1080, by Robert (II), Duke of Normandy, "Curthose", William the Conqueror's eldest son.
