Summary
Much of what is known about the environmental disaster in Libby, Montana, has been due to the unflagging efforts of residents Les Skramstad, U.S. attorney for Montana, and Gayla Benefield. In this ABC News program, these determined individuals are joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Andrew Schneider; Drs. Brad Black and Alan Whitehouse, of Libby's Center for Asbestos-Related Disease; and others to speak candidly about the situation there. Topics include the history of vermiculite mining in the area, allegations against W. R. Grace of covering up the presence of tremolite asbestos in the ore, and the shocking toll on the health of those who live in the shadow of Zonolite Mountain.
