Killer gas: Toxic legacy of World's worst industrial disaster in India

People across India have been remembering the country's worst industrial disaster, which killed tens of thousands in the city of Bhopal. But even though it happened twenty-five years ago, the survivors are still suffering the consequences. As Karan Singh reports, the toxic waste left behind could pose as big a risk as the gas leak itself.

The reason they were there in the first place was because of lax regulations. If third world countries managed their environmental, safety and labor laws better things like this would occur less frequently.

it is know fact that the so called first world companies do not bother about factory standard in third world.

evidence collected from former employees suggest that the factory was poorly maintained and the company did not listen to any complains regarding maintainance and it was obvious that the factory was heading towards a major disaster

thats a possibility, but sabotage is a great possibility too, like how one of russias largest dam's that dis functioned could have also been sabotage too, when big catastrophes on major commodities like that occur sabotage is very likely, large global companies apposing that nations verdict on issues that dont favor with theirs could be behind it, but your theory is a possibility too.

it was no sabotage.....the union carbide did not bother to maintain their plant properly and hence resulted in this accident
