Asbestos "America's Greatest Industrial Tragedy"
Industry Knowledge concerning the dangers of asbestos dates back to the late 1800's. The coverup which has resulted in the deaths of more than 500 million Americans will be featured in the upcoming video presentation that will be posted on this website in the near future. Until then, you can find a short video account in the legal section of the video case evaluation at http://www.mesothelioma.org and a time line at the web site of the Environmental Working Group at http://www.ewg.org/reports/asbestos/facts/fact1.php

According to David Austern cousel to the Manville trust, the manville documents "show corporate knowledge of the dangers associated with exposure to asbestos dating back to 1934. In addition, the plaintiffs’ bar will probably take the position – not unreasonably – that the documents are evidence of corporate conspiracy to prevent asbestos workers from learning that their exposure to asbestos could kill them. (One employee
of Manville who co-authored a 30 year old document, which is among the group of documents described above, was told by Manville’s Chief of Litigation, to hire his own lawyer after the document came to light because it was the opinion of the Chief of Litigation that the employee could be indicted for manslaughter …)
While it is not my intention to be an alarmist, I believe the documents evidence corporate irresponsibility of a magnitude which is understated in Outrageous Misconduct. The conduct and tone of the documents demonstrate that Manville officers, directors and employees, including some present employees – held secret information that had it been revealed would have prevented the deaths of thousands of people.
