Obviously they can't make excuses for this so they go with plan b pretend they can't see it until someone thinks up an excuse.

In his 1997 book ?The Art of the Comeback? Donald Trump wrote: ?I believe that the movement against asbestos was led by the mob, because it was often mob-related companies that would do the asbestos removal. Great pressure was put on politicians, and as usual, the politicians relented. Millions of truckloads of this incredible fire-proofing material were taken to special ?dump sites? and asbestos was replaced by materials that were supposedly safe but couldn?t hold a candle to asbestos in limiting the ravages of fire.?
The 58 storey Trump Towers on Fifth Avenue in New York City opened in 1983. Trump Towers was built by illegal workers paid $5 an hour off the books with no payment for overtime and terrible working conditions. The work began with the demolition of an existing asbestos filled structure. 200 Polish construction workers who worked illegally on the construction of Trump Tower in New York sued Trump, with some telling the New York Times that ?they often worked in choking clouds of asbestos dust without protective equipment.? After court rulings against Trump the lawsuit settled in 1999 with the terms being confidential.
Interestingly, both Donald Trump and a man he greatly respects, Russian President Vladimir Putin, are strong advocates for the use of asbestos. Russia is now the world?s leading producer and exporter of asbestos. What will happen to US asbestos policy under Trump. We must be vigilant.
