Didn't really plan my visit to this asbestos kingdom, it was one of my backup locations.
Didn't know about the destruction either.
Apparently they are removing all the asbestos with some funky machinery.
The fibres get sucked out of the air, go through the funky machine where they get mixed with water & some kind of sand & pressed into cubes.
All the precautions & taped off areas made me wonder if it was a good idea to visit this place last summer.
I'll guess we'll know in 10/20 years...
