1Report from Bhopal / Waiting For Justice Leaking gas from the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal killed at least 2500 people (possibly twice that number) and poisoned between 100,000 and 200,000 people. The enormity of the tragedy is such that the Indian Government has turned down Union Carbide's offer of nearly $350 million in compensation, saying it is insufficient. Part One of Two: A report from the people of Bhopal, who feel rejected by their Government and let down by their doctors. Part Two of Two: The evidence for compensation.
