There’s a poll going on over at the Big Sky Blog, where you can vote for the most embarrassing Montana…moments, I guess? It has all the crazy people (the Freemen militia people and the Unabomber), the environmental disasters (asbestos in Libby and the Berkeley Pit) and various other disasters (Ryan Leaf).
While people like Kaczynski and the Freemen are probably the most actually embarrassing, there impact was smaller than other events. So I went with W.R. Grace and the asbestos contamination of Libby (twenty miles from where I went to high school). Hundreds are dead because of it and more will succumb to asbestos related diseases in the future.
