Worlds largest industrial accident

Surfing the net I accidentally stumbled across Union Carbide’s (now owned by Dow) biggest secret and the worlds largest industrial accident. This is an out of character post, I intend to steer away from acitivismesque style posts of all kinds but I’m just stunned I’d never heard of it before.

More than 20,000 have thus far died from their injuries sustained in the leak of a toxic gas which is the primary ingredient of pesticides in December 1984. Over 150,000 people suffer from ongoing pollution from the factory and remnant toxicity from the original incident which means it’s almost 1,000 times larger than Chernobyl. How the hell have I never heard of this?

Read more about the Bhopal disaster here, here, and here. Warning though, the bhopal site condones quackery and woo trying to praise herbal remedies as a solution to the toxic effects the villagers are suffering, which is patent nonsense.
