Hello Robert - 

CA>> Any comment about what all that asbestos was doing in an
CA>> office building in 2002 when that is supposedly illegal? 

RS> According to the architect (on PBS) asbestos was legal when
RS> the building was started and about half way through
RS> construction they were forced to change to a less effective
RS> fire retardant. The architect said that the building would
RS> have lasted hours longer if asbestos had been used
RS> throughout as designed. 

RS> I think that the risk by trying to remove the asbestos is
RS> much too great in comparison to leaving it be. If it's not
RS> disturbed, it's fairly safe. 

Sounds reasonable but they tore down a perfectly good High
School (large one) here in Michigan because the cost to remove
the asbestos was too great. No mention of just 'leaving it
there' at the time.
