The Lorain Beryllium Disaster

[Tom Lehman]

I came across this little gem in the September 7, 1948 minutes of the
Lorain city council.  It refers to the aftermath of the Brush Beryllium
plant disaster.

"The Brass Foundry has been dismantled and there were approximately
11,000 persons X-rayed; the official report of the X-ray survey will be
available within about three weeks."

I wondered why so many people re-called this event, know I know.

Btw, I'm still looking around for municipal ordinaces or zoning codes
that ban beryllium or similar materials.
