	  The asbestos was more resilient than its replacement,
	and thus would have kept the challenger accident from
	occurring.  I recall Feynman noted this lack of resilience.  
	So, thus far we have environmentalists responsible for the 
	deaths of 2 million per year in India, and the deaths of 
	the Challenger astronauts.

	  Note, the asbestos that was banned is the harmless 
	variety (or virtually harmless, as almost nothing is
	truly harmless).  In fact, the stuff they are making/
	made people take out of buildings (schools, et.c) is
	the harmless variety.
