On the night of December 2-3, the world’s worst industrial disaster hit the city oh Bhopal, India. The Union Carbide India Limited pesticide plant in Bhopal developed a leak. Over 5,00,000 people were exposed to highly toxic Methyl Isocyanate (MIC) gas over the course of the night. | The Times of India

On the night of December 2nd, 1984, the city of Bhopal, India, a Union Carbide pesticide plant leaked over 40 tons of toxic methyl isocyanate gas into the air. This wasn’t just a tragic industrial accident. It was the result of deliberate cost-cutting, failed safety systems, and corporate negligence. The victims? Left with pennies. The CEO? Allowed to flee the country. To this day, the Bhopal disaster site remains contaminated, and justice remains out of reach. #BhopalDisaster #IndustrialDisaste
