Answer 1

"On Dec. 3, 1984, long before the 9/11 terror attacks, lethal methyl isocyanate leaked into the night air from a Union Carbide pesticide plant in the Madhya Pradesh state capital, Bhopal. Thousands of families awoke coughing and gasping as the poisonous gas seared their lungs, eyes and skin.

At least 15,000 people died. Many of the 105,000 survivors — a number which the Indian Supreme Court this year expanded to 572,000 with post-disaster births and previously unreported cases — struggle with ailments ranging from breathlessness and fatigue to heart problems and tuberculosis."
