No, this is not an article on the chemistry of the Bhopal Gas tragedy. My chemistry is way too poor for me to explain that.
Note:
- I’ve provided links and references as footnotes wherever I deemed it to be significant.
- I apologise if my article hurts the sentiments of any readers, my intention is to make people realise what happens in the event of a disaster. I sincerely wish and hope that no disaster ever occurs.
- I am *NOT* a doomsayer.
Flashback – 1984, Bhopal
Do I even need to remind what happened? I am not diving into the specifics of what happened. I am mentioning this so that you can have some statistics as a reference for the rest of the article.
Number of people murdered : 15,000 (possibly more) [1]
Compensation : $ 470 million (which the government itself agreed to be inadequate) [2] (more…)
