Gawker, whom the Scientologists previously tried to strongarm into silence, runs a story on the Freewinds.

Bad news for aspiring OT VIIIs: the ship’s been sealed and docked in Curacao due to the discovery of “significant amounts of blue asbestos” all over her. Blue asbestos is the insulating material that’s been banned in the US for years because of all the lung cancer it causes. And, obviously, the 40-year-old cruise ship has been contaminated with it since day one—putting the lives of nearly all OT VIII Scientologists at risk!

I’m betting that Gawker would have previously not found this story newsworthy if the cult didn’t threaten them.  LRH tech flunks again.
