Bhopal 25 years later.

Bhopal 25 years later.

The greatest industrial disaster of all time.... 8000, yes eight thousand died in the four days following the leak of poisen gas from the Union Carbide chemical plant in Bopal India.

It happened in the night of 2/3rd of December 1984 and the survivors, those who lost loved ones and the sick victims still living are struggling.

Have we forgotten them?
Have the lessons been learned?

For the most part the answer is Yes to both of those questions.

But what can we do? How many other industrial factories or storage faclilities exist around the world with the potential to inflict catastrophic disaster on the populations that surrond them.

Wake up your local press and find out. Not to chastise the people that work in these places, but to ensure they are playing it safe when it comes to operating these plants.

Someone got it wrong in Bhopal and thousands have died as a result.

Check out the plant next door and remind them of Bhopal and its victims.
