It's been a quarter-century and not one person has even been tried for the murder of thousands.

The incident was the worst industrial disaster in history.
Forty tonnes of a toxin called methyl isocyanate leaked from the factory and settled over slums on 3 December 1984.

The BBC took a sample of water from a hand pump in constant use just north of the plant and had it tested in the UK.
It contained nearly 1,000 times the World Health Organization's recommended maximum amount of carbon tetrachloride, a pollutant known to cause cancer and liver damage.

Dow Chemicals, which bought the company in 1999, says this settlement resolved all existing and future claims against the company.

A corporate homunculus murders thousands and walks away with no penalty by writing a check to a corrupt government.

But we're the good guys...

1. I remember that the Union Carbide stocked tanked at the time...

And I said to my wife that I could not understand because there would be no consequences and the poor Indian people would never be compensated in any meaningful way.

And sure enough Union Carbide went right back up in a very short time.
