Awesome! I can never get enough of that old stereotypical narrator voice.
Have you noticed how they are handling and crumbling Asbestos without masks? :v:
Why does it give cancer?
Almost everything humans make, we find out that it gives cancer decades later.
It has tiny fibres that get embedded in your lungs causing mutations, hence cancer. [editline]11:32PM[/editline] Steve McQueen died of it, because he got exposed to asbestos when he was working at a construction yard as a young man. Yet in this video they are messing around with it like nobodies business :v:.
[del]AHAHAHA "powerful electron microscopes at 3100x magnification"[/del] 31,000x :saddowns: anyways, why the fuck haven't we made synthetic asbestos yet or figured out how to condense it so it doesn't turn into a powder you inhale when you touch it

my old house had asbestos insulation, and I turned out fine. except this bad cough I've had for the past two years

And I think you mean why haven't [i]material scientists[/i] (unless you're a material scientist) made synthetic asbestos yet. And as far as I understand, there is no powder it turns into within the video as they touch it.

[QUOTE=Sigfig;23905956]i don't know any middle school labs with electron microscopes[/QUOTE] you don't need an electron microscope to get 1000x and it is[del]n't[/del] a massive technological leap to [del]3000x[/del] 31,000x :saddowns:
they said 31,000 though yeah i watched it again and they said 31 thousand
[QUOTE=Sigfig;23906070]they said 31,000 though yeah i watched it again and they said 31 thousand[/QUOTE] I stand corrected
[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;23905322]my old house had asbestos insulation, and I turned out fine. except this bad cough I've had for the past two years[/QUOTE] Somehow I doubt that.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;23905322]my old house had asbestos insulation, and I turned out fine. except this bad cough I've had for the past two years[/QUOTE] You should tell the doctors you may have been exposed to asbestos and get an x-ray of your lungs done.

The way they handled it in the video would surely release it into the air.
[QUOTE=B-hazard;23912480] You don't have to see the dust for it to kill you. The way they handled it in the video would surely release it into the air.[/QUOTE] I was pointing that out in my post
This shit would be awesome if it didn't kill us
