The Asbestos Murders: Corporate Greed vs Human Life

Three seconds of silence. In 1949, a doctor walked into a factory

with chest X-rays that would prove murder. Seven workers had asbestosis.

Their lungs were turning to stone. The company president had one question. Should we tell

them they are dying? The president replied: No. Let them work

until they drop dead. This was Lewis Brown, president of Johns

Manville. For 50 years, they deliberately poisoned 125 million workers worldwide,

causing over 40,000 American deaths every single year. This is the true story of

the Asbestos Murders. Presented by Vex Vault. It looked like angel hair.
