Bhopal: sparing a thought for the victims.

Here is an article in The Tech, the MIT newspaper, about the Bhopal disaster (deadly Methyl-isocyanate gas leak in December 1984):

Fact:
There were about 23000 deaths (8000 of these were within three days of the disaster) and over 500,000 people were affected.

I find it astounding that even 25 years down the line we have not been able to take the culprits to task and the victims are far from justice. Dow Chemical, the company that now owns Union Carbide which was responsible for the disaster, refuses to accept its liability towards the people of Bhopal.
A deeply sad state of affairs !
