Asbestos (1942)

[@stephaniedykes4157]

The music sounds so cheerful.

[@Snuzzled]

Boy! Good thing that electric knife she's cutting the asbestos with has a safety handle. That could have been dangerous otherwise!

[@drabberfrog]

What an informative video, does anyone know where I can purchase asbestos? I am sold on this revolutionary new product.

[@caphs2107]

rip for these ppls little they knew from this day backward. I’ve seen asbestos bagging racing in footage like this “oldays” big clouds of it puffing in the workers faces! ☠️😓

[@charlienia6619]

mostly banned due to cancer causing problems

[@fenlander7114]

Available all over Wittenoom WA, strangely no one mines it any more…

[@diegovega6545]

UFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF ASBESTOSIS !!!

[@Steam_City]

I usually get mine from old schools

[@dabnisbrickey6527]

It’s crazy how nobody back then knew that asbestosis, cigarettes, and lead paint weren't safe. Who knows what we have today that is a hazard that no one knows the dangers of yet.

Oh they knew, the companies that relied on them paid off medical professionals to say they have no adverse side effects to humans

Thats a terrifying thing to watch. Those poor women could not have lived for very long working in that factory. And being trapped in a suit of burning asbestos sounds like a nightmare.

[@buffalofpv3996]

I mean, it worked great to protect firefighters from immediate danger. I’d much rather be inside the burning asbestos suit than outside of it

[@gunnerdavidson7287]

I feel sorry for those women. But they're doing asbestos they can.

Thank you for this informative video!

[@DuffyWayne]

I love relaxing with a cigarette at home under my nice asbestos blanket. safety first!

This is horrifying now that we know

[@lampshadethisforshadowthat1050]

This is just sad to look at now…

[@war10ck63]

ım sad for working woman with asbest

[@spaghetti9067]

It’s difficult to imagine how it could be dangerous as we know it and they are so blasé about it, bro had his head encapsulated in it

[@kingtryton]

Sad, they had no idea of the dangerous just blinded by all the benefits

[@stephenbrand5661]

It's actually not nearly as dangerous when it's bound up in some other material like that. The real danger is when it is small enough to inhale, like in dust form.

[@RaymondLo84]

i assume these workers are long dead

[@markunknown6507]

Long long dead

[@TheByrd]

From asbestos or not. They'd be like in their 100s

[@kingtryton]

Yea there time has passed but no telling how terrible it must’ve been in there later years and if they even knew this stuff was killing them slowly

[@jjgun5074]

Madness.

[@86Ivar]

the electric knife safety handguard.

[@danpanther]

The hand saw with safety guard did not look at all safe. Let alone the asbestos!! 🎉

[@asdreww]

It's like a miracle material. I wonder if it will ever make a comeback, in some new safe form.

[@clotz1820]

unfortunately the form is heavily related to its charasteristics. its impossible to work with it safely.

[@virlanionut]

If only they knew 😮

[@fizkallnyeilsem]

Mmmmmm Lung cancer galore

Im feiling it from here

In 30 years you're going to see a video like this about lithium batteries. 🤷
