Yep. As in the ridiculous ban on DDT, environmentalism causes death.

The same is true of the WTC on 9/11. Both the planes hit the buildings ABOVE the floors where asbestos insulation was used. After the ban they had to use another insulation that, as we saw, didn't quite protect.

Asbestos insulation would not have saved the towers unless it was around the steel supports, contrary to the building design. Since neither asbestos nor the replacement insulation were wrapped around the steel supports of the building, you can't really blame the lack of asbestos use to the failure of the buildings. Noone thought a fully fueled plane would ram into a building filled with so much miscellaneous fuel (paper, furniture, etc.). If they had, they would have insulated the steel supports to prevent them from deforming at higher temperatures.
