Didn’t that have something to do with the original World Trade Center buildings? As I recall, Trump also got it wrong (what a surprise)…the issue was the spray-on asbestos fireproofing that was applied to the girders and related support structures of WTC 1 and 2. I can’t remember all the details anymore…maybe the fireproofing companies were mobbed up?
He did blame the WTC collapse on there not being asbestos on the support structures but he was pro asbestos before. He blamed the abatement companies for being mobbed up in “The Art of the Comeback” in 1997
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 fireproofing material were taken to special “dump sites” because of this stupid law
Except that Trump even got that wrong, as I recall. There was plenty of spray-on asbestos on the girders of WTC 1 and 2–except on the floors where it was blown off by widebody jets flying into the buildings at 500 mph! The spray-on fireproofing was never designed for that kind of impact, and I doubt that any fireproofing would survive such an event. People and service animals got very sick and died from the asbestos and other toxic materials that were released from the collapse of the towers. As usual, Trump has no idea what he’s talking about.
