Union Carbide
There is no way for the people of JP Nagar to get away from their spirits. This run-down neighbourhood is located just a few metres from the chemical factory that exploded shortly after midnight on December 2, 1984, poisoning their lives for all time. Bhopal is a city in India.
On the 34th anniversary of the Union Carbide chemical factory tragedy, which is thought to have killed 25,000 people and left more than 150,000 suffering, protesters marched through the streets of Bhopal.
The release of 40 tonnes of hazardous methyl isocyanate gas into the atmosphere, which killed over 3,000 people instantly and left hundreds of thousands more suffering from chronic pain, cancer, stillbirths, miscarriages, lung and heart disease, continues to be considered the worst industrial disaster in history.
