>>Union Carbide clearly screwed up in a huge way over Bhopal, but they settled with the Indian government, and tied up all liability before they were acquired. If you disagree with me, take it somewhere besides HN.

I am from India. Union Carbide, now Dow didn't settle or tied up liability as you mentioned. They lobbied hard both domestically and internationally to run from here by paying least they could. Without the least regard to the victims.

>>Disclosure: I grew up in Midland, MI, headquarters of Dow, and much of my family worked there.

I don't know if you are biased here.

But if you kill people in thousands and injure a generation of millions of people. Then you need to account for something and have some responsiblity.

What Dow did isn't not compensating a factory plant worker who lost his hand. But systematically, with plans and full intentions refused/and refusing to accept responsibilities for their actions that killed several thousands and destroyed lives of millions of people in India.

If this is not wrong, I don't what is.

And I don't know how people involved with this see themselves in the mirror, sleep in the night or live with this on their conscious.

This was almost like a genocide, and victims denied reparations.
