The New York Times is running this article for the 25th anniversary of the Bhopal disaster, which is today. Glad to see it didn't pass by unmentioned.
From the article:
The families of the dead got an average of $2,200; the wounded got $550; a Dow spokeswoman explained, that amount “is plenty good for an Indian.”
Warren Anderson, the Union Carbide chief executive at the time of the gas leak, lives in luxurious exile in the Hamptons, even though there’s an international arrest warrant out for him for culpable homicide. The Indian government has yet to pursue an extradition request.
