"And, if not very much mistaken, didn't Union Carbide operate that place?"

Union Carbide OWNED the plant, and provided some management. Far and away the majority of personnel were locals, including the guys who "pulled the wrong lever".

i see. so, ownership had no culpability and responsibility to ensure that their employees knew which levers to pull? Sort of like Delta putting people in the cockpit who don't which buttons to push?

Oh bull! Blame it on the "locals" pulling the lever!

The every piece of report on Bhopal gas leak ever published clearly indictes the top level management for blatantly flouting local laws and safty standards.
