Was This The World's Deadliest Accident? The Union Carbide Disaster (Bhopal, India)

The scale of human suffering which resulted from the leak of toxic gas from the Union Carbide plant is pretty much unprecedented in the realm of industrial accidents.

Poor planning, terrible maintenance and almost non-existent safety procedures led to the deaths of thousands. Forty years later the people of Bhopal are still suffering the effects of the fateful night of Dec 4th 1984.
