On the night of December 2, 1984, a colourless gas escaped from a tank of Union Carbide’s pesticide plant in Bhopal. The plant was owned by America’s Dow Chemicals (which in 2009 had sales of $45 billion). The gas was methyl isocyanate, and the tank contained 40,000 kilogrammes of it. The gas was supposed to be refrigerated to a temperature of under five degrees, and kept under pressure but the system had broken down. As the gas escaped into the night air it immediately killed 3,000 people in their sleep and estimates suggest that more than another 15,000 were poisoned over a period of time. The numbers of those blinded by the acrid gas, those who suffered abortions and organ failure, and also brain damage is in the hundreds of thousands.

A good reporter should get the facts straight, especially in the Google enabled age. When he was in Google getting Dow’s 2009 income, he should also have looked up who owned UCIL and UCC in 1984.
A good editor should have caught the errors made by the reporter.
Dow should sue both their socks off.
I agree with Les. Dow did not own Union Carbide at that time.
Forget Dow. Indians should be more concerned with all the warmcold..
