Remembering Bhopal

Can you name what is widely considered the world's worst industrial disaster? I'll give you some clues: it happened in India in 1984, has killed up to 25,000 people, has caused over half a million injuries, and involved a catastrophic gas leak at a Union Carbide (now DOW Chemical) pesticide factory.

If you guessed "the Bhopal disaster," you are right. If you haven't heard of this disaster, however, you definitely are not alone.
