Asbestos in old buildings is incredibly common and so long as it’s not deteriorating or being broken apart and drilled into (making the fibres airborne and breathable) it’s generally fine.
Two gigantic towers collapsing containing asbestos is a public health disaster. And it’s sad that America spent way more money fighting overseas than helping heal its own citizens.
