Really now? No environmental regulations so we can have another Bhopal incident. Sometimes maybe the environmentalists aren't too bad eh?

<The Chemical Industry's Bhopal Legacy

By Gary Cohen, AlterNet
December 3, 2003

Nineteen years ago this week, families in Bhopal, India were awakened in the middle of the night by terrible burning in their eyes and lungs. Within minutes, children and mothers and fathers staggered into the street, gasping for air and blinded by the chemicals that seared their eyes. As they ran in terror, someone shouted that the Union Carbide pesticides factory had exploded, spewing poisonous gas throughout the city.

Soon thousands of people lay dead in the city's main roads. Every truck, taxi and ox cart was weighted down with injured and terrified refugees. No one in the emergency room at the city hospital knew what the toxic gases were or how to treat the thousands of patients that flooded into the hallways.

By morning, more than 5,000 people were dead, while a half million more were injured.
