Freewinds sealed and blue asbestos confirmed

The irony is breathtaking.........................

heres tom cruise saying "why ask permission"," we are the authorities."

heres why you brain dead space cadet........

this is why we have regulations about dangerous stuff like asbestos, when you substitute the common sense regulations of the genuine authoritys, with your own completely false sense of superiority............. this is what happens.

the real crime here is those poor drydock workers who were knowingly exposed to blue asbestos, by the boats owners. the magnitude of this criminal act staggers me, the callous disregard for these people, should tell you a lot about this organisation and its ethics.

Maybe Greenpeace would pick up on this story...I think they have a blog on their site.

They do have an interest in such dangerous ships....

I sent my e-mail to Greenpeace as well and linked them to all of the available articles and Lawrence's affidavit.

Go Go Greenpeace!

Scientologists Exposed to Blue Asbestos—for 21 Years

Oh hai there!

Curacao, Netherlands Antilles:: Perhaps now that high-ranking members of the Church of Scientology—including Tom Cruise—may have been exposed to asbestos, an all-out ban on this human carcinogen in the US may come about sooner. But it can also mean that thousands more people can potentially develop mesothelioma

The MV Freewinds, Scientology's cruise ship, has been sealed and docked in Caracao due to blue asbestos (crocidolite) that was released and spread through the ventilation system, affecting thousands of people.

The Church of Scientology's members were attending Scientology courses, training services and functions aboard the ship. According to the Daily Herald, a local newspaper, the blue asbestos was released from the ship's structure during refurbishing and reparatory work.

This is not the first time the MV Freewinds has been investigated for blue asbestos. In 2001, a former Scientology member, architect Lawrence Woodcraft, submitted a sworn affidavit stating that he was exposed to blue asbestos while working on the Freewinds in 1987. As well, a statement from the ship's captain claimed that there were previous incidents where blue asbestos was released into the ship's ventilation system. But the Church of Scientology denied Woodcraft's claim and in so doing, the Church knowingly exposed its passengers and members to this most deadliest form of asbestos for the past 21 years!

Since 1970, raw blue asbestos—the most hazardous of asbestos-- was banned in the UK. The fibers from blue asbestos are the narrowest of this fibrous mineral and therefore the most easily respirable. Blue asbestos was known more than three decades ago to be the major cause of mesothlioma, which is a cancer of the pleural lining of the lung or much less commonly of the peritoneum. Mesothelioma is incurable, and commonly leads to a great deal of pain and other suffering. This horrific disease often has a very long latency period (it can manifest itself 40 years or more after asbestos exposure).

The risk of asbestos-related diseases from asbestos that is well-contained in structures such as steel and cement are minimal. However, the risks are extremely high when asbestos is removed, such as the case with refurbishing of the Freewinds.

Isn't it time to ban asbestos completely? Just as importantly, more enforcement and strict policing is needed when it comes to asbestos removal, refurbishment, maintenance and demolition work.

Anyone who has been aboard MV Freewinds should see their doctor to determine their level of exposure to blue asbestos. And they may want to seek legal advice.

'Creating a new reality' where there's no asbestos on your ship isn't gunna work.

Do I have this right?

People on the freewinds are exposed to a carcinogen from which they cannot seek treatment?

Really?

But they're all OTs, they can't get cancer. :\

Those are just the ones we have documentation over. We've seen a video of David Miscavige throwing a party for Tom Cruise on the Freewinds... so we know he's been on there at least once... and he's OT VII, so there's a good chance he's been on that ship more than a little.

Just thought that maybe someone should inform these people and the public.

i can has caek nao?
