Avoding accountability: Precedent has been set for BP to shrug off the GOM disaster

Union Carbide had caused the worst industrial accident in the world in Bhopal India 26 years ago killing around 15,000 persons and destroying the health and lives of many more people for many generations to come due to the inhalation of leaked deadly poisonous gas during their sleep. Dow Chemicals has taken over Union Carbide after this worst industrial disaster and both these companies have been refusing to be held accountable for this genocide. Large MNCs seem to care for the lives of US citizens only and treat the rest of the humans as expendable commodities like the raw materials and energy in all its forms they consume in their production processes. Extremely corrupt politicians at the highest levels in many countries seem to be helping such most irresponsible MNCs in every possible way in getting away with such huge criminality.
