    Bhopal gas tragedy
    In the early morning hours of December 3, 1984, a
    rolling wind carried a poisonous gray cloud from the
    Union Carbide Plant in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh (India).
    Forty tons of toxic gas (Methy-Iso-Cyanate, MIC) was
    accidentally released from Union Carbides Bhopal
    plant, which leaked and spread throughout the city.
    An estimated 10,000 or more people died.
    About 500,000 more people suffered agonizing injuries
    with disastrous effects of the massive poisoning.
    None can say if future generations will not be
    affected.
