Union Carbide is still being sued by victims due to the laxity of one of its Indian workers, who left a valve open at its chemical plant in that city. The accident occurred in 1984. Americans are seen as having deep pockets. How foolish, to move business there.

This comment is obscene and disgusting. I understand that people try to put their own nation first. Most of us do. Nevertheless the absence of security arrangements in the Bophal Union Carbide installation was simply criminal. The managers of Union Carbide accepted the possibility that thousands of people die just to save a few fu*king dollars. I do not know what happened to them, but if a Indian manager would have done the same in the US you guys simply would have executed him. Therefore it is fair that Union Carbide is paying for the damage it left behind. If you are thinking that a Indian life is less worth than a life in the US you are wrong.

“... if a Indian manager would have done the same in the US you guys simply would have executed him.”

Since you are not a citizen of the USA, it appears that your view of the USA is colored by Hollywood. That is a serious mistake. If you were a citizen, you would know that exoneration, prison term, or execution would depend on what part of the USA he was in when the event occurred. If the Indian manager was in California or New Jersey, he would have been granted citizenship and a million dollar reward for working under hazardous conditions (the valve was obviously faulty). In the mid-west, prison time for stupidity.

However, in the South, you would probably be right. But it would take 12 years to get it done.

No, YOUR comments are obscene and disgusting. Your ignorance of America is tremendous. You really ought drop in sometime and get educated.
