They had asbestos brake pads on the overhead crane rails when I started work at the mill.

I'm pretty sure we're all going to die anyway, though
Yeah, no doubt. I did 3 Underway emergency stack rip-outs on a slightly inclined 36" ID Inconel Diesel engine exhaust pipe in a ship - part of it was on fire & we couldn't tell exactly where so you simply take it all off (like 80ish feet) . . . Looks like it's snowing when you do it - I'm sure it was healthy and organic. o_O

Hey as long as it's organic, it's all good!

Wait, what do you mean you didn't know where it was on fire from! o_O At least when WE lit someone on fire we KNEW the f'n source!

One of the first jobs I had was working in a gas station back when they actually did service work. Since I was the FNG, whenever they needed brake drums "blown out", I would have to do it. Can still remember that unique brake dust (asbestos) "taste"
