Bhopal: 25 years later (Video)
Today is the 25th anniversary of the Union Carbide disaster in Bhopal, India. On Dec. 3 1984, a chemical plant exposed hundreds of thousands of people to toxic chemicals. Some estimates put the total number of people who have died at over 20,000. Union Carbide, now owned by Dow Chemical, is still mired in numerous lawsuits related to the incident.
