30th Anniversary of Bhopal Disaster Marked 
-------------------------------------------


 
Tonight marks the 30th anniversary of the Bhopal disaster, the worst
industrial tragedy in history. Campaigners say more than 20,000 people
died as a result of toxic gas that leaked from the Union Carbide
pesticide factory, while half a million more were poisoned. The toxic
legacy continues as Union Carbide and its parent firm, Dow Chemical,
have refused to pay for clean up or face charges in Indian court.
