This week, we're going to take another look at the Bhopal Industrial Accident. This disaster is regarded as the worst environmental disaster in recorded history. In the immediate aftermath of the disaster, a toxic cloud of Methyl Isocyanate would kill over 3,000 and that number would only continue to skyrocket as the hours passed into days, weeks, and months. In total, it is estimated that nearly 30,000 were killed as a result, and over 500,000 suffered injuries, some lifelong as a result of this disaster.
