Brazil’s Navy sunk its aircraft carrier São Paulo in the Atlantic ocean this month, ending a saga over what to do with the decommissioned ship. The vessel is full of toxic and dangerous material, including tons of asbestos, used in the ship’s paneling, and no country – including Brazil – would let it dock in their ports. Environmentalists are outraged, some calling it state-sponsored environmental crime.

As someone who has done alot of asbestos abatement work, there is nothing wrong with asbestos as long as you aren't disturbing it. Asbestos only becomes an issue when it is airborne. Aslong as the fuel and oils are removed this is a common practice around the world
So they pollute our ocean instead, How stupid have we become?
It's all state sponsored environmental crime. It is what it is.
Im surprised America didn't BUY IT.
again
Im sure we paid for it the first time.
Aaahh should have told my govt to buy it .. such a waste .. would have gotten it cheap …
What is in the ocean remains in the ocean
Why didn't they scrap some parts of it ?
Irresponsible
The only danger asbestos is to humans in inhaling it…
Under water, installed and sealed in a ship is very safe.
I think it's bad
The goverments are the biggest global polluters and destroyers 😡
It is staat sponsored environmental crime
Mi mi mi, mi mi mi, mi mi mi.
Fazem testes nucleares, soltam bombas atômicas, escalam armamento no mundo, são os maiores poluidores do mundo, mas na mídia fazem vídeo bonitos reclamando dos outros.
Quanta hipocrisia!
C'est Criminel…
Foolish!!!
Who cares? We have greater Problems than this fart in a bottle
If you only Knew when i was in Navy we put everything in the Ocean Government are worst pollution 😢😢😢
If all the fuels,oils ,ect were removed ..
steel and asbestos will generally
just decay over time.
What's yer mean what did u think?.
It's had been sanked!
So no use to ask for?
It is a great hypocrisy of Brazil that talks about the environment and makes such blurred by polluting the seas. Hypocritical bunch.
It sounds like environmentalists have too much time on their hands worrying about a mineral that came from the earth going back to the earth
Imagine the dangerous mess going to wash up on their beautiful beaches 😮
that's the second stupidest, nastiest-thing that t've ever seen
Anyone telling you asbestos is safe in any form is an asshole .
Don't care about any of this,
other than all the sea living beings they must kill (while the ship's sunk), when people does these useless things.
Why the biggest flags of pollution , corruption , crimes , … Are always tied to USA , China , France , UK
So now fish are gonna get cancer. What an intelligent plan.
Yes that is messed up how they left it in the ocean knowing it has toxic chemicals. Surely it should have been taken apart and disposed of but no of course not because that would be more expensive.
Sooo bad
It should have been buried Beneath the earth instead of Sea ⛵ 5000 m below.
I would've thought that Brazil sunk their own ship for the insurance money.
If you are going to use a video in the United States. It should be mandatory you speak with standard, American English. Not the metric system.
Oh my gosh why!!! Its kill the life off in the ocean
Their correct . That crap will be ingested by the fish we eat .
so all carriers are made of asbestos too ?
No governing body in the world cares.
A França livrou-se de um lixo e ainda ganhou milhões de Euros na operação de venda. Deveria responder por parte da tentativa de solucionar o problema.
We buy in scraps
Bullshit. Yanks pollute the world with their capitalism produced waste for decades. Where are the environ-MENTAL-ists?
I think I need to see footage ive never seen an aircraft sink
What a waste of money. And yes a crime against the fish in the ocean.
So let's pollute the Atlantic Ocean with all the toxic material in it!
Sounds like a frickin genius was behind this!
O Brasil já não porra nenhuma de navios e afunda o que tem ! O dinheiro não sai do bolso delis né,! Se fossem mais competente teriam dado conta de arrumalo? Só com o dinheiro que e surrupiado pelo Brasil inteiro daria para deicha esse novinho e fazer outro igual!
São Paulo named after the largest city in the Southern Hemisphere
Era de preferat sa il dezasambleze.
The ocean is not a garbage can! Yes this a crime against humanity!
depth – u say : 5k meters &
pressure on exterior is how much?
Just What Do You Think Is going to go where? one!
& 2 – is flt deck level 2 ocean bottom?
Same o sameo! nothing is going no place. flt deck & space below will allow many creatures to hide ¿live? w/ in many cramped secure spaces, no?
And Just When Do You Think All Problem Materials [stated] will be in z ocean depths to be a problem if ever?
I Think Not So A Problem.
5k meters is 5 kilometers DOWN? Again Pressures are? c above.
More like: What do you sink
I believe that there are places to DISMANTLE SHIPS, then use the SCRAP for something else. Perhaps a HAZMAT TEAM, Could have removed the asbestos ?
