Montana Town Contaminated by Asbestos

Seven years ago, the town of Libby, Montana received news that hundreds of its residents had died or been sickened by exposure to asbestos. W.R. Grace and Company operated mines in the area that produced the asbestos as a byproduct and the company and seven former executives are facing charges for having concealed the health risks associated with the mine.
