I am guessing that an English firm contracted to dismantle the ships based upon competitive bids. It is a business arrangement - not some deep plot to spread toxic materials. Asbetos, like any other material that has been declared toxic, etc, can be disposed of without harming anything if it is done properly - it is improper disposal or the illegal dumping of such materials that causes the major agony - it this instance that quite obviously wasn't the case. Oh yeah! and by the way John Henry - I think your avatar is really neat!
