The 1984 gas leak in Bhopal, India, was a terrible tragedy which understandably continues to evoke strong emotions even 21 years later. In the wake of the release, Union Carbide Corporation worked diligently to provide immediate and continuing aid to the victims and set up a process to resolve their claims. All the claims arising out of the release were settled 16 years ago at the explicit direction and with the approval of the Supreme Court of India. This web site provides our statement regarding the tragedy, details our response, and other historical and legal information about the incident.
Union Carbide bought this domain to circulate a non-independant report that mostly clears them of wrongdoing in the world's largest industrial accident ever. This is pretty disturbing to me, for some reason. Bhopal Information Center |
