Bhopal victims demand better compensation
One of the world's worst industrial accidents took place in India nearly 30 years ago, when a poisonous gas leak from a pesticide factory in Bhopal killed ...
The amazing thing about this is that the outrage from the US on the BP oli
rig disaster verged on hysteria Yet when one of their major corporations
killed literally THOUSANDS of Indians there was a muted responce Personally
I think BP should pay similar compensation to what the Indian victims were
paid

Seismic Seconds - The Bhopal Gas Disaster Part 1 of 3
The Bhopal disaster was an industrial catastrophe that took place at a pesticide plant owned and operated by Union Carbide (UCIL) in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh ...
"unforeseen chemical reaction"?
Are you kidding? The exothermic reaction between Methyl Isocyante and water
is well documented. The MIC tank was supposed to be kept cool and isolated
from any possible water contamination. So this wasnt an ACCIDENT - like
most industrial catastrophies, it was negligence and design issues that
caused this incident. The two fail safe safety features around the MIC tank
and at the plant also failed or were not operating (the cooling system for
the tank, and the gas burn off stack)
The Union carbide Head (Anderson) fled to New York and has not been
extradited by the USA to face charges in India.
Everything is about profit. Squeezing workers more and more, cutting back
on safety, lobbying governments to reduce corporate responsibility to the
environment and to human health and safety. And CEOs and Presidents
continue to receive their obscene bonuses, golden handshakes and multi
million dollar bail outs.
This corporate model is in force today (See the BP Mexican Gulf disaster -
that was a totally preventable event if extra safety features had been
installed.
im a foreigner studying in india,,last year, i'd problem with my internet
connection,,so gave them a call,,they came and repaired it in the
evening..how they repaired it? they took my housemate line and connect it
to my room,,i only knew their lack of common sense once my housemate
returning as he said theres no connection in his room,,oh my...25+ years
plus after this disaster,,theyre still not changin,, incredible india!
What a damned shame, the people responsible for this tragedy should pay
with their lives. Just like the people that ruined the Gulf Of Mexico, kill
em all!
I haven't even finished watching hey but I'm well aware that Union Carbide
got off scot free and never ever paid restitution to these people. The
reason I know a lot about this tragedy is because I live 5 miles from where
they had previously stored this crap. I don't know if it's stored there
still ( shame on me I should) . Anyway we have always had a plan and gone
through "shelter in place" drills at schools and elsewhere. We had radio
and television warnings. Why wasn't this set up by Union Carbide when they
built the plant or instructed the locals on how to do this??????? I hate
this company
+bratlygirl I may tell you why they didn't warn Indian people about the danger: because these companies don't give a shit for the third world people. I live in Brazil, in a town located in Rio de Janeiro state and here we have 2 pesticide factories. I can assure you that no one in town knows what are these companies really processing in their plants. They don't tell the people or the authorities what to do in case of an emergency. I can remember when once there was an alarm at one of the factories during the night and I called the company to ask what was going on and the attendant just told me to chill, because that was not of my business!!! That's why in 2015, 31 years after Bhopal's disaster, there are many potential "Bhopal's" in third world countries... may God help us all!
The real tragedy here is that the culprits were never punished..How is it
any different from the people killed within gas chambers in Nazi camps.. A
country which grants millions in damages for small careless instances which
causes no damage to life in most cases, fails to compensate a tragedy where
thousands die and millions injured.. Instead it runs to protect the
guilty.. It seems it is ok to kill thousands for a few bucks as long as
they are poor and not Americans.. A human being is a human being, in fact
no living being should have the right to think his life is more precious
than the others and he/she can just toy around with it..
Yes I agree with you but Isn't it the fault of the company to hire such unskilled worker.. JUST TO SAVE MONEY. Will any American Company Build the same Poisonous Chemical plant in their city which will be only 1 Km away from the Main Railway Station and "HIRE CHEAP LABOUR" JUST TO MAKE PROFIT!!!!!! who are INEXPERIENCED in handling POISONOUS CHEMICAL UNQUALIFIED EMPLOYEES with NO ADEQUATE KNOWLEDGE of chemistry about the Harmful chemical they are handling.. NO PROPER TRAINING GIVEN BY THE COMPANY.. if it was America.. Will the same American Company Just TO MAKE MORE MONEY HIRE such INEXPERIENCE UNTRAINED Workers to handle such poisonous chemical plant in their city instead of hiring qualified people?
Okay that's enough. I usually love BBC documentaries BUT by the 23 minute
mark when the narrator says another safety device failed, I decided I can
watch no more. IF THE ALARM IS TURNED OFF INTENTIONALLY...IF THE CREW
IGNORED THE SMELL OF LEAKING GAS UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE...IF ONE OF THEM
FORGOT TO PUT COVERS ON THE LEAK POINTS...THEN IT'S UP TO THE PEOPLE
RUNNING THE PLANT, NOT THE OWNERS TO DO THE RIGHT THING. Once the
narrator says the workers TURNED OFF THE ALARM SO AS NOT TO CAUSE A PANIC,
that was enough for me. I'm all about blaming corporate America when it's
valid, but this is insane. Corporate Americas only real guilt is in
exploiting poor people in countries that choose not to protect their
people.
1) Most of the safety features were turned off because they had to cut costs. Corporates are for profit only. UC churns the profit and hence, they are directly responsible (from top-bottom) for operations and/or mishaps. Corporates do not care for human beings. Even more so, if they are not white!! I hope you have worked in team before (other than sitting in front of youtube which many American youths do) and realize that there is something called collective responsibility. Read about it, it will be useful for you in your bubble life (may be!)2) Many plane accidents have occurred in history of west because of cost cutting (leading to compromise on safety part) and billions of dollars have been paid as compensation to families to avoid court cases, directly by company (not by sub-contractors who actually work for company). Suddenly when it comes to people of developing or poor nation, they are not families any more, they are not human being anymore. They are just little ants like creatures who for all practical purposes do not exist for west and western corporation.PS: Terms like "giving back to community" are bullshit. American capitalism has brainwashed generations and will continue to do! I really really wish people had brain to see that.
Ankit makes a correct statement. But, the really serious point here is that the alarm issue is just one of many and is the result of many years of cost cutting and neglect. This resulted in inadequately trained workers at the factory and inadequately specified or malfunctioning safety systems- many of which were not working, or switched off to save money, at the time of the disaster.However, the plant was 'under-specified' from the day it was built (when compared to its US 'sister' plant) and documentation exists that demonstrates that the US corporation drove these original cost-saving measures leading to a plant that was potentially dangerous from the day it was built.
The alarm apparently misfired and went off randomly even when there was no problem, hence the workers were instructed to ignore the alarm by the owners to avoid delays. Technically their fault
Dear all, for a truly revealing account of the events leading up to the disaster, and of its after effects, I will recommend you a free online publication.Our organisation published this and every detail has been past the lawyers to make sure that we can present it as fact.You will find incredible stories that are quite difficult to believe but you should finish it knowing that Union Carbide/ Dow Chemical have the blood of Bhopal on their hands.//bhopalmarathon.org/cryforbhopal/index.html
uneducated & untrained labor = very cheap labor.and who knows, all the things except the alarm could've been decided by HQ, no?however, by law, owners are responsible, and IMO, both are to be blamed.ps: I salute you for the way carry an argument.
+der golem Not sure why you have to resort to name calling. But please calm down, I'm not in the mood to be called names just because I posted a comment on the internet. No offense was meant, sorry you were offended. It was and is just my opinion. Not infering that the people that died deserved it. Just said equipment that is turned off is not failure of EQUIPMENT. Did not make a single comment about the good people that lost their lives or were injured.
How about hiring people with little or no training to handle lethal chemicals in emergency situations that can poison and kill thousands upon thousands of HUMAN BEINGS?, how about building a chemical time bomb in the middle of a town filled up with HUMAN BEINGS and not tell anyone about the possible consequences or even how to react to a poisonous gas leak that can kill entire families in an instant?, how about holding these mass murderers accountable in any shape, way or form so we can make sure that if this happens again it will not be for the same stupid reasons?, How about more than 20,000 HUMAN BEINGS?, HOW ABOUT THAT YOU FUCKIN´ IMBECILE?!, HOW ABOUT THAT?!! Fucking Asshole... These "TraNsnAtioNaLS" can Get the FUCK OUT OF HERE!, they arrive with the promise of progress and wealth, but they don´t do anything like that, it´s just a facade, at the end they only bring more misery, death, destruction, poverty and fish with three eyes, when they leave and if they leave, they leave the people pretty fucked up and sad and worse than ever, they can kiss my ass.... Mr. Asshole, in my own country, can go and dip his face in his own shit ass well.....
