"Montana Asbestos Victims Sue Warren Buffett's Railroad Over Fatal Pollution"

Victims of asbestos pollution in Libby, Montana, are taking BNSF Railway, owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., to court for alleged negligence and wrongful death related to asbestos exposure from contaminated vermiculite transported by the railroad. Hundreds have died and thousands have been sickened, with the first trial set to begin soon. The EPA declared a public health emergency in Libby in 2009, and a cleanup has cost an estimated $600 million. The railroad denies responsibility, but victims seek justice as they battle asbestos-related diseases.
