Believe he loaded asbestos onto the gunboats and that is how he came into contact with the stuff in it’s pure form. Plus the fireproof safety gear he wore as a race car driver was partly made of asbestos as well. This is a point of interest to me concerning McQueen’s life because my grandfather died in 1984 of the same type of asbestos related cancer (Grandpa was exposed to it working in petroleum refineries during the 1920s and 30s and building houses in the 1940s and 50s).
One night only. Guess I’ll have to wait for it to show up on PBS.
Yep, same with My grand dad...terrible stuff. There is an EPA for a reason..yes they over reach a lot...but there are real dangers out there..
Let’s not forget that he smoked like a chimney. And asbestos cancer and cigarette cancer can only be differentiated by a biopsy. Good chance that they complemented each other.
