Hi ya Patrick..TORT REFORM..theres a joke for ya.. I heard that same rumor about the WTC and asbestos but also heard it was false I will see if I can find some information on that. What I do know is that in 1968 Grace introduces Monokote® sprayed-on fireproofing, providing a durable alternative to low-density fireproofing to protect structural steel against the ravages of fire. WTC started construction in 1962?? And in 1988 Grace expands construction products operations in Japan. Monokote® Type MK-6 is introduced, utilizing a patented injection system that reduces the time and expense required to fireproof high-rise structures.Last night I was trying to find out what the material was made of.Its not vermiculite.But more than likely asbestos. Have you seen the renewal in interest on CCK,GRA,FMO. What is sad is the fact the for the short period of time that we have been on earth as humans and as Americans. During the industrial revolution great companies made discoveries to improve our way of life.W.R.Grace,Crown Cork & Seal,U.S.Gypsum and Halliburton to name a few. Did not intentionally start out to kill people.The people that started these companies were trying to make a buck with high hopes of being viable company. Looking to buy HAL monday AM too. cheers D.A. and this right off LAW OFFICES OF SHEPARD A. HOFFMAN's website.. ASBESTOS COMPANIES Asbestos products have been used in the United States since the 1800s. Over 3,000 different types of products containing asbestos have been manufactured by hundreds of different asbestos companies. Many of the asbestos companies are multi-billion dollar, multinational corporations with enormous assets and large amounts of insurance to pay asbestos claims. Over the years, these companies earned enormous profits by selling their asbestos containing products at the expense of the hundreds of thousands of people who would go on to develop or die of asbestos related disease. The following list of companies that manufactured asbestos products is by no means complete. Instead, this is merely a list of some of the major companies which manufactured or sold asbestos products; Armstrong World Industries Bendix (Brakes) Chrysler (Brakes) Fiberboard Ford (Brakes) GAF Corp. General Electric General Motors (Brakes) General Refractories Georgia Pacific Harbison Walker Johns Manville Kaiser Gypsum National Gypsum Owens Corning Fiberglass Owens Illinois Pittsburgh Corning Philip Carey U.S. Gypsum Uniroyal Westinghouse WR Grace (Zonolite) Many other companies made asbestos products.
