Summary
An interview with Jerry Cochran, a former sailor who is slowly suffocating to death because of exposure to toxic dust while resurfacing the flight decks of U.S. aircraft carriers. Navy doctors first diagnosed Cochran's illness as sarcoidosis, a disease of unknown cause. Later tests confirmed that it was silicosis, a fatal condition directly related to Cochran's work on board ship. Despite the testimony of medical experts, the U.S. Navy has done little to follow up on other sailors who were similarly exposed.
