internal documents show that the asbestos industry has been aware of the dangers associated with asbestos-exposure since 1934

As early as 1934, asbestos industry executives have know about the dangers associated with asbestos-exposure. According to Aetna Insurance's Attorney's Textbook of Medicine devotes a full chapter to asbestos exposure, noting that asbestosis was 'incurable' and usually results in disability followed by death.

In 1949, an internal Exxon memo marked 'Company Confidential' documents lung cancer caused by asbestos.

In 1966, the comments of the Director of Purchasing for Bendix Corporation (now part of Honeywell) capture the utter disregard of an industry for its workforce. "If you have enjoyed a good life while working with asbestos products, why not die from it?" wrote E.A. Martin, Director of Purchases. This disdain is expressed over and over again in company documents spanning the past 60 years.

In 1973, industry experts predict that approximately 25,000 past and present employees will die of asbestos-related diseases, "and the good news is that despite all the negative articles on asbestos-health that have appeared in the press over the past half-dozen years, very few people have been paying attention."
