520 | _an early February 1985, two months after the industrial disaster in Bhopal, India, in which thousands died and tens of thousands more were severely injured as a result of a massive gas leak from Union Carbide Corporation's pesticide plant there, I traveled to India. I was there for six weeks, visiting New Delhi and Bombay, and spending considerable time in Bhopal itself. I talked to Union Carbide employees - from high-level management to workers at the Bhopal plant. I interviewed a broad spectrum of doctors involved in the care of the victims, and Indian government officials, including those charged with enforcing environmental and safety regulations. I also talked with scientists investigating the disaster, Indian journalists, environmental activists, and members of volunteer organizations who came to Bhopal to aid the victims. | ||
