Union Carbide is still around (as a subsidiary of Dow). It was a horrible, horrible thing they did, but man's inhumanity to man is on grand display when you realize that the stock market did not punish them, and legally, both of the governments that could have done so barely enforced their penalty. It is absolutely horrifying as a human being, but if you put yourself in the shoes of a sociopathic CEO, it turned out OK for Union Carbide. Not so much for Bhopal. Rereading the details of the incident, it is striking how negligence at every level compounded the problem. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_disaster https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_disaster) If not for a long string of terrible decisions, nobody would have been hurt, killed, or poisoned. Even worse than I remembered.

There are an appalling number of these incidents. It's quite depressing if you think about it.
