The children of Dow's chemicals { in 1984 }

Posted in
BLIND, LAME, LIMBS TWISTED or missing, deafmute, brain-damaged, with hare-lips, cleft palates, webbed fingers, cerebral palsy, tumours where should be eyes, these are Bhopal’s children. The living children. The still-born often can not be recognised as human. If you want to break your heart, look at their pictures. They were damaged in the womb by chemicals leaking from the same Union Carbide factory that killed thousands in 1984. Carbide left the plant without cleaning it. The "Polluter Pays Principle" applies in India as in the US, but Carbide and its parent Dow Chemical flatly refuse to clean the factory or pay a cent towards a clean-up.
