Highlights
At midnight on December 3, 1984 a Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India abruptly and without warning released 42 tonnes of lethal methyl isocyanate gas into the sleeping city
Given this delicate manoeuvring around blame and responsibility, it was to a surprised TV audience that one Jude Finisterra, a purported representative of Dow Chemical, appeared on the BBC to offer an apology and to pledge a $12 billion dollar compensation and remuneration package to the people of Bhopal
The announcement came on the 20th anniversary of the Bhopal disaster and promised that Dow Chemical would liquidate one of its subsidiaries to supply the funds needed to clean up the site, which has since been leaking residual chemicals, and provide medical care and compensation to the survivors
Summary
At midnight on December 3, 1984 a Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India abruptly and without warning released 42 tonnes of lethal methyl isocyanate gas into the sleeping city.
