No justice for Bhopal, 25 years on

It's 25 years since the world's worst industrial disaster struck Bhopal, a town in central India. On 3 December 1984, a toxic leak in Union Carbide Corporation's factory unleashed 40 tonnes of lethal gas into the sleeping town. It killed 3,500 people instantly and an estimated 20,000 have died from complications since. According to activists, the actual figures are much higher....

"that the 350 metric tonne waste lying in the factory is not at all harmful,"
The Guardian 2009-12-03

Bhopal Disaster
The Bhopal disaster, also referred to as the Bhopal gas tragedy, was a gas leak incident in India, considered the world's worst industrial disaster. It occurred on the night of 2--3 December 1984 at the Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) pesticide plant in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Over 500,000 people were exposed to methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas and other chemicals. The toxic substance made its way in and around the shanty towns located near the plant. Estimates vary on the death toll. The official immediate death toll was 2,259. The government of Madhya Pradesh confirmed a total of 3,787 deaths related to the gas release. Others estimate 8,000 died within two weeks and another 8,000 or more have since died from gas-related diseases. A government affidavit in 2006 stated the leak caused 558,125 injuries including 38,478 temporary partial injuries and approximately 3,900 severely and permanently disabling injuries

Has Union Carbide Ever Been Found Accountable For Bhopal?

Has Union Carbide Ever Been Found Accountable For Bhopal?
Hunting The Corporate Killers (2003) - "It was an Indian-managed company. I have nothing to say." Subscribe to Journeyman for news and science reports every weekday: htpp://youtube.com/journeymanpictures For downloads and more information visit: http://www.journeyman.tv/11205 Warren Anderson, the man many people consider to be responsible for the world’s worst industrial tragedy, continues to defy attempts to hold him accountable. In December 1984 a toxic gas cloud from the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal silently enveloped the surrounding city. The gas ate away at victims’ lungs and throats, causing the deaths of up to 10,000 people. “People were begging to die. They didn’t want to live,” recalls survivor Rashida Bi. Even now 150,000 people are chronically affected. They blame Union Carbide’s former CEO, Warren Anderson, for their suffering and want him to stand trial in India. “It’s not revenge. It’s to show the world that someone like him cannot get off scot-free,” explains Bi. They are angry that none of the plant’s safety systems were working on the night of the accident and countless safety warnings were ignored. Anderson was arrested on charges of culpable homicide but was later released on bail and allowed to leave India. He has never returned. His friends claim he is being persecuted for who he is, not what he did. But if the Chief Executive can’t be held responsible, who can?
