Subject: Asbestos from another building implosion_ Indianapolis, Indiana -"Even though it’s now six
months after the implosion, we're testing for what has settled downwind and is still there. The
levels are five times higher than normal and unsafe"
A News 81-Team Investigative Report
Air of Controversy, Part 1
(Embedded image moved to file; picl6405.pcx)
When Market Square Arena was imploded, it was a city event like no
other. There was a monsterous dust cloud. Montel Giden who was watching
with thousands of others says people were choking and gasping for air.
Giden said he wondered if there was something harmful in the dust.
The city of Indianapolis was also thinking about the dust. The city’s
Capital Improvement Board hired a company to test the air during the
implosion. The results of the tests have caused an explosion of their
own.
"It (the report) was poorly done in terms of what should have been
looking for and two it did a poor job of comparing what the true
underlying risk was," says Tony Havics, an environmental engineer the
I-Team consulted. Havics is an asbestos expert called in on major jobs
like the World Trade Center. Other experts the I-Team consulted agree
with Havics. They say the CIB asked for too little to determine if the
dust was truly dangerous. Then the CIB kept the results secret for
nearly six months.
Another board, the city's own Air Pollution Control Board had been
asking for the results since MSA came down. Air Board member Bruce
Wallace got fed up. "There was this huge dust cloud when we imploded the
thing and there were air samples taken during that time and after that
time and there was a report written. What does it say? asked Wallace.
