To all the people that want to cover this up that asbestos isn't bad or don't want to tell the public need to be set in the room filled with asbestos dust and have them breathe it in for a couple of days and then ask if it's okay?
It's time to sue the heck out of any entity that suppresses this information, it is a criminal action. LIARS saying that it is not a public health risk, disgusting.

Nyxie of Neurotic House “when this finally breaks”. Very silly comment, there were studies in the 1920’s that showed a rare form of what they called “lung death” in people working in factories making Asbestos products. It wasn’t until the 70’s that the US started making some regulations (after the lawsuits finally started happening of course) The US didn’t stop manufacturing asbestos until the 90’s. Also keep in mind importing and use of asbestos products in the US is still legal, it’s just regulated. We are in a country that will always put money over human lives, it’s no secret that asbestos exposure kills thousands of people every year, but with asbestos being such a useful and great product, it’ll probably never be stopped as long as there’s a trail of money attached to it.
Nice investigative journalism. Local governments are always thinking about their business constituents & never about the voters who suffer from their poor decisions.
The reasons for preventing the geologists from releasing their findings seem bureaucratic at best and a cover-up at worst. Why could the Nevada state health official not retrospectively review the report and retrospectively give the geologists permission to publish? I wonder whether they were more concerned about the economic impact of the clean-up/containment of asbestos ore and the economic effect an asbestos scare might have on the Las Vegas tourist trade? Call me cynical, but methinks I am right!Well done to news reporter George Knapp and his news crew for exposing this cover-up and bringing the issue into the public domain, and thus embarrassing the bureaucrats involved in supressing the geologists’ findings!
We’re here to let you know about: •the potential dangers of asbestos in your home •the different testing procedures that are available, •the steps to take if you suspect that you have asbestos in your home, •and to offer some tips and advice for making your home safer.
It's possible to get it in weeks or months from some asbestos company records. Second: asbestos was never banned. It's still used in car brake pads, for starters.
The only company I know uses asbestos in the brake pads is raybestos but even they claimed they no longer uses asbestos and it's just the brand name now (which I highly doubt since which corporation gives a single fuq about human lives!) and I expect 80% of chinese aftermarket brake components contains asbestos, however, if the mechanic still wanna work with those stuffs, fuq them to their miseries!
You have this issue anywhere politicians rely on corporations for campaign funding. They don't want to bite the hands that feed them. They serve the people but the people don't fund a successful campaign. So they will ignore and refute it, so long as they get to keep their jobs.

Ooh when this finally breaks and people sue the state government... There are going to be a lot of people in trouble.

@@BrandonHoyt If they say there is no risk, THEN MAKE THESE OFFICIALS LIVE IN THOSE HIGH RISK AREAS FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS!
Asbestos was taxed by the government & approved. Now it's time for the government to honor those tax gains to investigate the valid concerns. 🙏
If they say there is no risk, THEN MAKE THESE OFFICIALS LIVE IN THOSE HIGH RISK AREAS FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS!
Great documentary on asbestos
George, you've done it again.
Fabulous documentary
Very Nice Video.
What the heck in 25:58 she is holding that rock without a hazmat suit
15:58 the actual newspeak term from 1984 would be double-think
1984 is SUCH a good book

Wow. Great story, great cinematography... great work.

It’s so obvious. These state officials must be paid off.
Heads need to roll at Nevada's state health department, followed by lawsuits.
I used to landscape and mow lawns in Libby Montana. I've dug alot of holes as a kid. I'm probably going to die Young.
Wikipedia's Interstate 11 article mentions this 0 times.
Wikipedia isn't a valid source; it can easily be changed or manipulated, especially to facilitate a government cover up.
46:28 That music sounds familiar. Where is it from?
Fayette Villain Russia
25:40 that just sounds so weird
This must be scary for you Americans in the affected areas.
From an English kid 👊
I'm from there yeah I'm scared to sufficate. I've dug so many holes and mowed so many laws. I'm probably going to die Young
George Knapp!

Why would they stop selling when they can make millions or billions selling? Profit is made on the backs of the powerless.
Yep smartphone 📱

Josh Everyone in the US is hell bent on suing everyone. It's a disease, you'll solve the problem when you take the reins from the lawyers....
Revenge of the mother nature...
I bet if immigrants discovered it then it would be made public.
