On December 3rd, 1984, over 500K people in that location lost their lives due to a gas leak from a Union Carbide pesticide plant.

FWIW, Amnesty International says 22,000 were killed and 500K suffered injuries.

IIRC, it wasn’t even Union Carbide’s US operations, UCIL was a “separate entity, owned, managed and operated exclusively by Indian citizens in India.”

Correct. I just recall it being a horrible moment of mass carnage and prolonged suffering. I overlooked the precise details.
