YEAR 1984: HUNDREDS DIE IN BHOPAL CHEMICAL ACCIDENT
This was one of the world's worst industrial accidents.
Nearly 3,000 people died from the effects of the poisonous gas in the days following the disaster.
Estimates say that some 50,000 people were treated in the first few days suffering terrible side-effects, including blindness, kidney and liver failure.
Campaigners say nearly 20,000 others have since died from the effects of the leak.
Investigations into the disaster revealed that something had gone fundamentally wrong with a tank storing lethal methyl isocyanate (MIC).
Very nice topic ankesh, it was a major industrial accident in the world's history which ruined the life of millions of people. I am adding a document where you will find more detailed information on Bhopal Gas Tragedy.
