    In the early morning of December 3rd, 1984, over 40 tons of methyl isocyanate gas leaked from the UNION Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India, the toxic cloud enveloping the surrounding population. The gas cleared at dawn, already having killed and injured many people. Four months after the release of this toxic pollution, over 3,800 people had been reported dead to the Indian government and approximately 11,000 with disabilities. Legal action and court settlements by mainly the Supreme Court of India followed immediately after the catastrophe, for the most part being charges against the officials and employees of Union Carbide Corporation and Union Carbide India Limited.…

    Just after midnight on December 3, 1984, a pesticide plant in Bhopal, India had a chemical leak accident. The chemical that was released into the air is called methyl isocyanate, or MIC, used to make pesticides. This chemical is tremendously harmful and fatal to humans, livestock, and crops. Only a short-term exposure may cause death or unfavorable health effects. The slums of Bhopal and its residents that surrounded the plant which were mostly affected by the gas suffered dearly. An estimated 8,000 people dead and about 300,000 more suffering from its effects. Bloated carcasses of cattle dotted the streets. Tree and plant leaves were yellow and brittle. "Corpses littered the streets and discovered behind locked doors, trapped in private death tombs" (Diamond 8). These victims had no warning what so ever. As families ran from their homes and away from the plant, they had no idea that the wind was carrying the gas cloud in the direction that they were traveling. The disaster effects on survivors are so great that the effects on generations to come are going to be serious and enduring. This could all have been avoided, if negligence and inattention didn 't play a role in the Bhopal disaster of 1984.…
