Asbestos mining 1959

Arsehole you have obviously never lost a loved one through mesothelioma. Crawl back under ya stone shithead.

Look. Asbestos didn't ask to be extracted. It was minding its own business for centuries until man mined it. Then what? Asbestos did its best to make our houses safe from fire, our floors and walls beautiful and our industrial systems economical to run. Now everyone sh*ts on asbestos. How do think that makes asbestos feel? You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

For another "what were they thinking" moment, watch "Mercury Production In California 1955."

Disgusting level of safety back on those days, big companies only care about quick profit, we've most recently seen this with banks. Governments are too slow to react...people suffer.

"Asbestos - Only a matter of time". Now THATS irony. Sick irony.
