ASBESTOS FIBERS LEAD TO LOSS OF TWENTY YEARS' WORK
When a dumper truck smashed through the walls of a primary school classroom in England, it spread deadly asbestos fibers. The result was that every item in the room had to be thrown away and replaced because it had been contaminated with asbestos.
The truck had been stolen by David Bush, who caused £7,844 worth of damage.
The noise of the impact caused headmaster, Duncan McAlpine to investigate. He reports seeing a 'gaping hole' in one of the classrooms.
A teacher, who lost 20 years of work in the classroom, broke down in tears when she heard everything in the room had to be thrown away.
